Image
Love is, that you are the knife which I plunge into myself.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

In the fight between you and the world, back the world.
Franz Kafka
Image
I’m doing badly, I’m doing well whichever you prefer.
Franz Kafka
Image
Don't bend don't water it down don't try to make it logical don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
Franz Kafka
Image
Going to pieces. To go to pieces so pointlessly and unnecessarily.
Franz Kafka
Image
German is my mother tongue and as such more natural to me, but I consider Czech much more affectionate, which is why your letter removes several uncertainties I see you more clearly, the movements of your body, your hands, so quick, so resolute, it’s almost like a meeting.
Franz Kafka
Image
Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.
Franz Kafka
Image
Two tasks at the beginning of your life: to narrow your orbit more and more, and ever and again to check whether you are not in hiding somewhere outside your orbit.
Franz Kafka
Image
There was once a community of scoundrels, that is to say, they were not scoundrels, but ordinary people.
Franz Kafka
Image
Every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form.
Franz Kafka
