"Franz Kafka gave me a short essay on Soren Kirekegaard by Carl Dallago. He said on this occasion:
'Kierkegaard faces the problem, whether to enjoy life aesthetically or to experience it ethically. But this seems to me a false statement of the problem. The Either-Or exists only in the head of Soren Kierkegaard. In reality one can only achieve an aesthetic enjoyment of life as a result of humble ethical experience. But this is only a a personal opinion of the moment, which perhaps I shall abandon after closer inquiry. '"
--Gustav Janouch
