Franz Kafka
Image
We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, but also because we have not yet eaten of the Tree of Life. The state in which we are is sinful, irrespective of guilt.
Franz Kafka
Image
The true way goes over a line that, rather than spanning heights, is hardly above the ground. It appears more decidedly to make one trip than to be walked along.
Franz Kafka
Image
A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die.
Franz Kafka
Image
There are times when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship.
Franz Kafka
Image
I wanted to escape the unrest, to shut out the voices around me and within me, so I write.
Franz Kafka
Image
So eager are our people to obliterate the present.
Franz Kafka
Image
What's happened to me,' he thought. It was no dream.
Franz Kafka
Image
Isolation is a way to know ourselves.
Franz Kafka
Image
They're talking about things of which they don't have the slightest understanding, anyway. It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.
Franz Kafka
Image
It receives you when you come and dismisses you when you go.
