Leop­ards break in­to the tem­ple and drink all the sac­ri­fi­cial ves­sels dry it keeps hap­pen­ing in the end, it can be cal­cu­lat­ed in ad­vance and is in­cor­po­rat­ed in­to the rit­ual.
Franz Kafka
Image
Anything that has real and lasting value is always a gift from within.
Franz Kafka
Image
Now I can look at you in peace I don't eat you any more.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

Love is, that you are the knife which I plunge into myself.
Franz Kafka
Image
there is nothing bad to fear once you have crossed that threshold, all is well. Another world, and you do not have to speak
Franz Kafka
Image
If you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you're okay. Who watches out or you and wants the best for you. Who loves and respects you. Don't let them go. People like that are hard to find.
Franz Kafka
Image
Utterance does not in principle mean a weakening of conviction--that would not be anything to be deplored--but a weakness of conviction.
Franz Kafka
Image
The thornbush is the old obstacle in the road. It must catch fire if you want to go further.
Franz Kafka

Writer speaks a stench.
Franz Kafka

A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka
Image
Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.
Franz Kafka
