More quotes by Franz Kafka
Don't bend don't water it down don't try to make it logical don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
Franz Kafka
The Messiah will only come when he is no longer needed.
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
What am I doing here in this endless winter?
Franz Kafka
Man cannot live without a permanent trust in something indestructible in himself, though both the indestructible element and the trust may remain permanently hidden from him. One of the ways in which this hiddenness can express itself is through faith in a personal god.
Franz Kafka
The meaning of life is that it stops.
Franz Kafka
There are questions we could not get past if we were not set free from them by our very nature.
Franz Kafka
One can disintegrate the world by means of very strong light. For weak eyes the world becomes solid, for still weaker eyes it seems to develop fists, for eyes weaker still it becomes shamefaced and smashes anyone who dares to gaze upon it.
Franz Kafka
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
Franz Kafka
Anyone who renounces the world must love all men, for he renounces their world too. He thus begins to have some inkling of the true nature of man, which cannot but be loved, always assuming that one is its peer.
Franz Kafka
You can choose to be free , but it's last decision you'll ever make
Franz Kafka
A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka
Love is, that you are the knife which I plunge into myself.
Franz Kafka
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
The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.
Franz Kafka
There was once a community of scoundrels, that is to say, they were not scoundrels, but ordinary people.
Franz Kafka
If I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?
Franz Kafka
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for?
Franz Kafka
The whole visible world is perhaps nothing more than the rationalization of a man who wants to find peace for a moment.
Franz Kafka
It is strange how little sharpsightedness women possess they only notice whether they please, then whether they arouse pity, and finally, whether you look for compassion from them. That is all come to think of it, it may even be enough, generally speaking.
Franz Kafka
