Franz Werfel Quotes

For Many People It Is Depressing Even To Move House. A Lost Fragment Of Life Always Remains. To Move To Another Town, Settle In A Foreign Country, Is For Everyone A Major Decision. But, To Be Suddenly Driven Forth, Within Twenty-four Hours, From One's Home, One's Work, The Reward Of Years Of Steady Industry. To Become A Helpless Prey Of Help. To Be Sent Defenceless Out To Asiatic Highroads, With Several Thousand Miles Of Dust, Stones, And Morass Before One. To Know That One Will Never Again Find A Decently Human Habitation, Never Again Sit Down To A Proper Table. Yet This Is All Nothing. To Be More Shackled Than Any Convict. To Be Counted As Outside The Law, A Vagabond, Whom Anyone Has The Right To Kill Unpunished.
