One advantage of keeping a diary is that one becomes aware with reassuring clarity of the changes one is constantly subject to, which one also generally believes, suspects and concedes, but which one always unconsciously denies when it comes down to it. In the diary one finds evidence that one lived, looked around and wrote down observations even in conditions that seem unbearable today, that this right has moved as it does today, when we are wiser because of the possibility of an overview of the situation at that time , but that is why we have to acknowledge all the more the fearlessness of our striving at that time, which we still maintained in sheer ignorance.

-F. Kafka
