Image
If I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?
Franz Kafka
Image
All human errors are impatience, a premature breaking off of methodical procedure, an apparent fencing-in of what is apparently at issue.
Franz Kafka
Image
You can choose to be free , but it's last decision you'll ever make
Franz Kafka
Image
They did not know what we can now guess at, contemplating the course of history: that change begins in the soul before it appears in ordinary existence.
Franz Kafka
Image
Our art is a way of being dazzled by truth: the light on the grotesquely grimacing retreating face is true, and nothing else.
Franz Kafka
Image
The old incapacity. Interrupted my writing for barely ten days and already cast out. Once again prodigious efforts stand before me. You have to dive down, as it were, and sink more rapidly than that which sinks in advance of you.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
Believing means liberating the indestructible element in oneself, or, more accurately, liberating oneself, or, more accurately, being indestructible, or, more accurately, being.
Franz Kafka
Image
He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.
Franz Kafka
Image
The meaning of life is that it stops.
Franz Kafka
Image
There can be knowledge of the diabolical, but no belief in it, for more of the diabolical than there is does not exist.
Franz Kafka
Image
Everyone carries a room about inside him. This fact can even be proved by means of the sense of hearing. If someone walks fast and one pricks up one’s ears and listens, say in the night, when everything round about is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall.
Franz Kafka
Image
If this is what you came for, then I didn't send for you. Kafka (note to himself in journal)
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.
Franz Kafka
Image
He was a tool of the boss, without brains or backbone.
Franz Kafka
Image
Follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
Franz Kafka
Image
If they were shocked, then Gregor had no further responsibility and could be calm. But if they took everything calmly, he he, too, had no reason to get excited and could, if he hurried, actually be at the station by eight o'clock.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
Love has as few problems as a motor car. The only problems are the driver, the passengers, and the road.
