More quotes by Franz Kafka
Heaven is dumb, echoing only the dumb.
Franz Kafka
The notion of the infinite expanse and copiousness of the cosmos is the result of the mixture, carried to the extreme limit, of laborious creation and free self-determination.
Franz Kafka
Religions get lost as people do.
Franz Kafka
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
Franz Kafka
The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens. There is no doubt of that, but it proves nothing against the heavens, for heaven simply means: the impossibility of crows.
Franz Kafka
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
Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair.
Franz Kafka
Anybody who preserves the ability to recognize beauty will never get old.
Franz Kafka
I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.
Franz Kafka
Love has as few problems as a motor car. The only problems are the driver, the passengers, and the road.
Franz Kafka
Photography concentrates one's eye on the superficial. For that reason it obscures the hidden life which glimmers through the outlines of things like a play of light and shade. One can't catch that even with the sharpest lens.
Franz Kafka
The delights of this life are not its own, but our fear of the ascent into a higher life the torments of this life are not its own, but our self-torment because of that fear.
Franz Kafka
A belief is like a guillotine, just as heavy, just as light.
Franz Kafka
Evil is the radiation of the human consciousness in certain transitional positions. It is not actually the sensual world that is amere appearance what is so is the evil of it, which, admittedly, is what constitutes the sensual world in our eyes.
Franz Kafka
Art flies around truth, but with the definite intention of not getting burnt. Its capacity lies in finding in the dark void a place where the beam of light can be intensely caught, without this having been perceptible before.
Franz Kafka
I never wish to be easily defined.
Franz Kafka
You need not even listen, just wait...the world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself.
Franz Kafka
We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, but also because we have not yet eaten of the Tree of Life. The state in which we are is sinful, irrespective of guilt.
Franz Kafka
There is a down-and-outness under true knowledge and a childlike happy arising from it.
Franz Kafka
Written kisses don't reach their destination, rather they are drunk on the way by the ghosts.
Franz Kafka
