🎂 Happy birthday to Franz Kafka (1883-1924), German-language writer of visionary fiction whose works — especially the novel The Trial (1925) and The Metamorphosis (1915) — express the anxieties and alienation felt by many in 20th-century Europe and North America. 👇
"A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us."
"I am a cage, in search of a bird."
"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."
"Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self."
"Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old."

Some of my favorite moments of him come from his comedy on #NightCourt as "Bob Wheeler." He knew how to hold onto a setup to a joke for a long time, giving more hilarity to the punchline. 1 / 3

Happy 187th Birthday #MarkTwain! 🎂
He was born just after an appearance by #HalleysComet in 1835 and he (correctly) predicted he'd also "go out with it." (He died the day after it's closest approach to Earth in 1910.) ☄️
