Preface.
A History of Science Vol.1 Ancient Science Through the Golden Age of Greece (1952)
Context: As I grew older my lectures became simpler; I tried to say fewer things and to say them better, with more humanity. This book continues in a different way the same evolution, but it is not yet as simple as I would have liked to have made it.
(July 1910)
The Diaries of Franz Kafka 1910-1923 (1948)
Context: I can prove at any time that my education tried to make another person out of me than the one I became. It is for the harm, therefore, that my educators could have done me in accordance with their intentions that I reproach them; I demand from their hands the person I now am, and since they cannot give him to me, I make of my reproach and laughter a drumbeat sounding in the world beyond.
“I've always tried to write the kind of book I most loved to read: character-centered adventure.”
