Franz Kafka
Image
Believing means liberating the indestructible element in oneself, or, more accurately, liberating oneself, or, more accurately, being indestructible, or, more accurately, being.
Franz Kafka
Image
Should I be grateful or should I curse the fact that despite all misfortune I can still feel love, an unearthly love but still for earthly objects.
Franz Kafka
Image
You are so vulnerably haunting. Your eeriness is terrifyingly irresistible.
Franz Kafka
