Character: Harry Haller



I always have to take a deep breath of it as I go? As the smell of wax, which is smeared floor, and a faint flavor of turpentine together with the mahogany, washed leaves and all the way create fragrance, create the highest expression of bourgeois cleanliness, thoroughness and accuracy of duty and faithfulness in the small. Don't know who lives here, but behind that glass door should be a Paradise of purity, of the petty bourgeoisie without a single speck of dust, a Paradise of order and timidly touching devotion to the little habits and responsibilities.

- What do you want?
- I want more. I'm unhappy that I'm happy, I'm not built for it, it's not my calling. My destiny is the opposite.

From the women I loved before, I've always demanded of intelligence and education, not quite aware of the fact that even very intelligent and relatively educated woman never answered the queries of my mind, and always resisted them; I came to the women with their problems and thoughts, and it seemed to me utterly impossible to love longer than some hours the girl who doesn't read almost any book, almost do not know what read, and would be unable to distinguish Tchaikovsky from Beethoven.

We, intelligent people, all entirely dream of a language without words to Express the inexpressible, to Express what they cannot Express.

It was incredibly nice to listen to someone, sit next to someone who questioned you, ordered you, scolded you.

To hang, can be difficult, I do not know. But to live is far, far harder.

I thought that was over, not only the stranger, not only tomorrow or after tomorrow, will end and I, closed, buried in the mud among the embarrassment and lies of the bidders, no, because over all, our entire culture, our entire faith, our entire joy, who was very ill and soon there will also be closed. The cemetery was the world of our culture.

Wherever I looked, wherever he turned a thought, never waiting for me joy, nothing not me, not attracted, everything stank of rotten worn out, rotten prodovolstvia, everything was old, limp, grey, flabby, dead..

I disappointedly went on, not knowing where, no goals, no aspirations, no duties for me did not exist. Life was disgustingly bitter taste, I felt that the long growing nausea reaches its highest point, as life pushes and throws me...
