" My former home, the monarchy, was a large house with many doors and many rooms for many different kinds of people. This house has been divided, broken up, ruined. I have no business with what is there now. I am used to living in a house, not in cabins. "

― Joseph Roth , Three Novellas: The Legend of the Holy Drinker, Fallmerayer the Stationmaster and The Bust of the Emperor (Works of Joseph Roth)
