Joseph Roth: Destination
18. May 2011 08:16
You never know who walks into Café Central—to share your thoughts.
Oh—the whole world thinks in such tired, worn traditional clichés. It never asks the wanderer where he is going, only ever where he’s come from. And what matters to the wanderer is his destination, not his point of departure.
from The Wandering Jews
Translated from the German by Michael Hofmann
