Thomas Mann
Thomas Mann Novelist

"Nothing is stranger or more ticklish than a relationship between people who know each other only by sight, who meet and observe each other daily - no hourly - and are nevertheless compelled to keep up the pose of an indifferent stranger, neither greeting nor addressing each other, whether out of etiquette or their own whim."

Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche Philosopher, Writer
