In man's struggle against the world, bet on the world.
Franz Kafka
Image
People who walk across dark bridges, past saints, with dim, small lights. Clouds which move across gray skies past churches with towers darkened in the dusk. One who leans against granite railing gazing into the evening waters, His hands resting on old stones.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Image
First impressions are always unreliable.
Franz Kafka
Image
Do not waste your time looking for an obstacle - maybe there is none.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
In a certain sense you deny the existence of this world. You explain life as a state of rest, a state of rest in motion.
Franz Kafka
Image
There is a down-and-outness under true knowledge and a childlike happy arising from it.
Franz Kafka
Image
The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.
Franz Kafka
Image
This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me.
Franz Kafka
Image
The thornbush is the old obstacle in the road. It must catch fire if you want to go further.
Franz Kafka
