"Every Monday morning Wlfli is given a new pencil
and two large sheets of unprinted newsprint. The
pencil is used up in two days; then he has to make
do with the stubs he has saved or with whatever
he can beg off someone else. He often writes with
pieces only five to seven millimetres long and even
with the broken-off points of lead, which he
handles

...deftly, holding them between his fingernails. He
carefully collects packing paper and any other
paper he can get from the guards and patients in
his area; otherwise he would run out of paper
before the next Sunday night. At Christmas the
house gives him a box of coloured pencils, which
lasts him two or three weeks at the most."

Clinic (the mental asylum where Wlfli lived)
