"...after a conversation with his mother about marriage and children
towards the end of the year he was convinced 'how untrue and childish is
the conception of me that my mother builds up for herself'. She
considered that if he were to get married and have children, all his
hypochondria and anxiety would vanish, his interest in literature would
decline to a professional man's sideline or hobby, and he would find
himself concentrating on his career, like any normal person.
Needless
to say, Kafka did not see it that way. Whatever the difficulties and
obstacles he was currently experiencing, his intuition that he was
capable of great things continued to possess him. One night he lay on
his bed 'and again became aware of all my abilities as though I were
holding them in my hand... capable of anything...'."
