Walter Benjamin

(1892 - 1940) German literary critic and philosopher
  • "Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like."
  • "To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright."
