More quotes by Franz Kafka

Because of impatience they were expelled, because of impatience they do not return.

Franz Kafka
Image
We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.
