More quotes by Franz Kafka
The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.
Franz Kafka
The man in ecstasy and the man drowning - both throw up their arms. The first to signify harmony, the second to signify strife with the elements.
Franz Kafka
Just think how many thoughts a blanket smothers while one lies alone in bed, and how many unhappy dreams it keeps warm.
Franz Kafka
There art two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness.
Franz Kafka
You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.
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
A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka
In the fight between you and the world, back the world.
Franz Kafka
Every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form.
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
Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.
Franz Kafka
There's an infinite amount of hope but not for us.
Franz Kafka
The observer of the soul cannot penetrate into the soul, but there doubtless is a margin where he comes into contact with it. Recognition of this contact is the fact that even the soul does not know of itself. Hence it must remain unknown. That would be sad only if there were anything apart from the soul, but there is nothing else.
Franz Kafka
Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty.
Franz Kafka
If you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you're okay. Who watches out or you and wants the best for you. Who loves and respects you. Don't let them go. People like that are hard to find.
Franz Kafka
Anyone who believes cannot experience miracles. By day one does not see any stars. Anyone who does miracles says: I cannot let goof the earth.
Franz Kafka
There was once a community of scoundrels, that is to say, they were not scoundrels, but ordinary people.
Franz Kafka
What am I doing here in this endless winter?
Franz Kafka
I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more
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
