Summary

This quote suggests that while things in life may often seem completely wrong or useless, there is always a possibility of finding some truth or value within them. Even a stopped clock, which is typically considered useless for telling time, is able to accurately display the correct time twice a day. Therefore, the quote encourages us to look beyond initial judgments and recognize that even in situations that may appear entirely wrong, there can still be some aspect of truth or validation present.

February 13, 1936I ask of people more than they can give me.

February 13, 1936I ask of people more than they can give me. It is useless to maintain the contrary. But what a mistake and what despair. And myself perhaps...Seek contacts. All contacts. If I want to write about men, should I stop talking about the countryside? If the sky or light attract me, shall I forget the eyes or voices of those I love? Each time I am given the elements of a friendship, the fragments of an emotion, never the emotion or the friendship itself.
