More quotes by Franz Kafka
I never imagined that so many days would ultimately make such a small life.
Franz Kafka
I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand very quietly in a corner, content that I can breathe.
Franz Kafka
Picasso only registers the deformities which have not yet penetrated our consciousness. Art is a mirror which goes 'fast' like a watch - sometimes.
Franz Kafka
Man cannot live without a continuous confidence in something indestructible within himself.
Franz Kafka
Human judgment of human actions is true and void , that is to say, first true and then void.... The judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void.... Only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. Hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it.
Franz Kafka
Palestine needs earth, but it does not need lawyers.
Franz Kafka
My doubts stand in a circle around every word, I see them before I see the word, but what then! I do not see the word at all, I invent it.
Franz Kafka
Life is merely terrible I feel it as few others do. Often — and in my inmost self perhaps all the time — I doubt whether I am a human being.
Franz Kafka
The limited circle is pure.
Franz Kafka
For words are magical formulae. They leave finger marks be hind on the brain, which in the twinkling of an eye become the footprints of history. One ought to watch one' s every word.
Franz Kafka
Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty.
Franz Kafka
One of the most effective means of seduction that Evil has is the challenge to struggle. It is like the struggle with women, whichends in bed. A married man's true deviations from the path of virtue are, rightly understood, never gay.
Franz Kafka
The relationship to one's fellow man is the relationship of prayer, the relationship to oneself is the relationship of striving it is from prayer that one draws the strength for one's striving.
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
There they lay, but not in the forgetfulness of the previous night. She was seeking and he was seeking, they raged and contorted their faces and bored their heads into each others bosom in the urgency of seeking something, and their embraces and their tossing limbs did not avail to make them forget, but only reminded them of what they sought
Franz Kafka
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
I do not see the world at all I invent it.
Franz Kafka
The meaning of life is that it stops.
Franz Kafka
In man's struggle against the world, bet on the world.
Franz Kafka
The Fathers of the Church were not afraid to go out into the desert because they had a richness in their hearts. But we, with richness all around us, are afraid, because the desert is in our hearts.
Franz Kafka
