Depuis le 7 octobre, je ne dors plus vraiment. Je ferme les yeux, mais la nuit ne me repose pas. Elle me replonge dedans. Le tunnel. Les explosions. Les cris qui déchirent l'air. Je me réveille en sursaut, le cœur affolé, avec une question qui cogne plus fort que tout : comment continuer ? Même la nuit ne veut pas de moi est le récit d'un homme qui a vacillé dans une époque qui tremble, mais qui a découvert une vérité essentielle : on ne tient pas seul.

Mit dieser Methode könne man sich selbst am besten belehren: „Die Idee kommt beim Sprechen“. Kleist selbst habe diese Idee gehabt, als er beim Brüten über eine algebraische Aufgabe nicht weiter kam, aber im Gespräch mit seiner Schwester darüber eine Lösung fand.
