the immense force of belief
“It cannot be claimed that we are lacking in belief. The mere fact of our being alive is an inexhaustible font of belief.”
“The fact of our being alive a font of belief? But what else can we do but live?”
“It’s in that ‘what else’ that the immense force of belief resides: it is the exclusion that gives it its form.”
Kafka
