Ingeborg Bachmann

There was nothing more to make of it, and it would be best if women and men kept their distance and had nothing to do with each other until both had found their way out of the tangle and confusion, the discrepancy inherent in all relationships.”
Ingeborg Bachmann, Simultan: Erzählungen
