The downward spiral of a poor student was relatable.  I enjoyed my time (mostly).

„Die Ewigkeit erscheint uns immer als ein Begriff, den man gar nicht fassen kann, als etwas Riesenhaftes, ungeheuer Großes! Aber warum soll sie denn absolut ungeheuer groß sein? Auf einmal (stellen Sie sich das mal vor) kommt es so heraus, dass da statt all dessen nur ein einziges kleines Zimmerchen ist, so in der Art wie eine Badestube auf dem Lande, ganz verräuchert, und in allen Ecken Spinnen, und das ist dann die ganze Ewigkeit. […]”

„Stellen Sie sich wirklich, wirklich nichts Tröstlicheres und Gerechteres unter der Ewigkeit vor als dies?” […]

„Etwas Gerechteres? Woher soll man’s wissen, vielleicht ist das so, wie ich mir das ausmale, ganz gerecht; und wissen Sie, wenn’s von mir abhinge, ich würde die Ewigkeit jedenfalls absichtlich so einrichten.”
