There is no such thing as observation of the inner world, as there is of the outer world. At least descriptive psychology is probably, taken as a whole, a form of anthropomorphism, a nibbling at our own limits. The inner world can only be experienced, not described - Psychology is the description of the reflection of the terrestrial world in the heavenly plane, or, more correctly, the description of a reflection such as we, soaked as we are in our terrestrial nature, imagine it, for no reflection actually occurs, only we see the earth wherever we turn.

Psychology is impatience.

All human errors are impatience, the premature breaking off of what is methodical, an apparent fencing in of the apparent thing.

-Franz Kafka, Notebooks, October 19, 1917, "Wedding Preparations"
