Penny Ulmer- The Kafka diaries, February 12, 1922, I have loved this for years, particularly this:
The gesture of rejection with which I was forever met did not mean: 'I do not love you' but 'You cannot love me, much as you would like to; you are unhappily in love with your love for me, but your love for me is not in love with you'.
