Franz Kafka — "I am dirty, Milena, endlessly dirty, which is why I make such a fuss about clean…"

I am dirty, Milena, endlessly dirty, which is why I make such a fuss about cleanliness. My poor, dear Milena, you are only a woman, you are not a man, you do not understand that for a man there is always something dirty, something that can never be washed away.
Franz Kafka — Franz Kafka Modern · The Metamorphosis, surrealist fiction
