I am nothing to anyone, and that is my greatest freedom. — Franz Kafka

I am nothing to anyone, and that is my greatest freedom.

Author: Franz Kafka

Insight: Being nobody means nobody's keeping score. You're free to fail, change your mind, or disappear without devastating anyone's expectations—a luxury most people spend their whole lives trying to buy.
