“You would think I had stood looking at it for a long time; but I swear I began to run as soon as I recognized this wall. For that’s what is horrible – that I did recognize it. I recognize everything here, and that’s why it passes right into me: it is at home inside me.”
[the main character makes this statement after looking at the wall of a collapsing building and describing it in detail -- it really stuck out to me in regard to my feelings about my senior thesis]
From The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge by Rainer Maria Rilke
