Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
There are times when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship.
Franz Kafka
Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair.
Franz Kafka
My 'fear' is my substance, and probably the best part of me.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
There's an infinite amount of hope but not for us.
Franz Kafka
The Expulsion from Paradise is eternal in its principal aspect: this makes it irrevocable, and our living in this world inevitable, but the eternal nature of the process has the effect that not only could we remain forever in Paradise, but that we are currently there, whether we know it or not.
Franz Kafka
There was once a community of scoundrels, that is to say, they were not scoundrels, but ordinary people.
Franz Kafka
If all responsibility is imposed on you, then you may want to exploit the moment and want to be overwhelmed by the responsibilityyet if you try, you will notice that nothing was imposed on you, but that you are yourself this responsibility.
Franz Kafka
