One tells as few lies as possible only by telling as few lies as possible, and not by having the least possible opportunity to do so.
Franz Kafka
Image
Two possibilities: making oneself infinitely small or being so. The second is perfection, that is to say, inactivity, the first is beginning, that is to say, action.
Franz Kafka
Image
Adam's first domestic pet after the expulsion from Paradise was the serpent.
Franz Kafka
Image
Faith, like a guillotine. As heavy, as light.
Franz Kafka
Image
The more horses you yoke the quicker everything will go - not the rending of the block from its foundation, which is impossible, but the snapping of the traces and with that the gay and empty journey.
Franz Kafka
Image
Sometimes I think I can expiate all my past and future sins through the aching of my bones.
Franz Kafka
