Franz Kafka
One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.
Franz Kafka
There is a down-and-outness under true knowledge and a childlike happy arising from it.
Franz Kafka
In one and the same human being there are cognitions that, however utterly dissimilar they are, yet have one and the same object,so that one can only conclude that there are different subjects in one and the same human being.
Franz Kafka
I answer one of your letters, then lie in bed in apparent calm, but my heart beats through my entire body and is conscious only of you. I belong to you there is really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough.
Franz Kafka
In a certain sense you deny the existence of this world. You explain life as a state of rest, a state of rest in motion.
Franz Kafka
The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens. There is no doubt of that, but it proves nothing against the heavens, for heaven simply means: the impossibility of crows.
