Quotes by Thomas Bernhard:

The only friends I have are the dead who have bequeathed their writings to me-I have no others.

All of living is nothing but a fervid attempt to move closer together.

Every person is a unique and autonomous person and actually, considered independently, the greatest artwork of all time. (No pressure to think good of anyone, though! 😂)

We fill our mental strong-room with these great minds and old masters and resort to them at the crucial moment in our lives.
