[…] in jedem genialen oder neuen menschlichen Gedanken, oder sogar einfach in jedem ernsten menschlichen Gedanken, der in einem Kopf zu keimen beginnt, immer etwas ist, das zurückbleibt und sich unmöglich anderen Menschen mitteilen läßt, selbst wenn man Bände vollschreibt und diesen Gedanken fünfunddreißig Jahre lang erläutert; es bleibt immer etwas zurück, was um keinen Preis den Schädel verlassen will und für alle Ewigkeit in einem bleibt; und so stirbt man, vielleicht ohne das Wichtigste seiner Idee an irgend jemand weitergegeben zu haben.

I must confess it took me a while to get through because I've been so busy, and this book is not one to read late at night. It demands your attention, your reflections.
Now I read this in Portuguese, so here goes one of my favourite parts...
Houve uma altura em que me honrou com a sua confianca. Se calhar, ja se esqueceu de mim. Como aconteceu que eu esteja a escrever-lhe agora? Nao sei, mas tive o desejo imperioso de faze-la lembrar-se de mim, precisamente a si. Muitas vezes senti que precisava das tres, mas das tres so a si imaginava. Preciso muito, mas muito, de si. Nao tenho nada a escrever-lhe de mim, nada a contar-lhe. Nem o queria; desejo apenas que esteja muito feliz. Esta feliz? Era so isso que queria dizer-lhe.
Poderoso.
