Quote

Last night I dreamed about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally you somehow caught fire.

The limited circle is pure.
Franz Kafka
Image
Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.
Franz Kafka
Image
He is a free and secure citizen of the world because he is on a chain that is long enough to allow him access to all parts of the earth, and yet not so long that he could be swept over the edge of it.
Franz Kafka
Image
This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.
Franz Kafka
Image
Religions get lost as people do.
Franz Kafka
Image
I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.
Franz Kafka
Image
Written kisses don't reach their destination, rather they are drunk on the way by the ghosts.
Franz Kafka
Image
Believing means liberating the indestructible element in oneself, or, more accurately, liberating oneself, or, more accurately, being indestructible, or, more accurately, being.
Franz Kafka
Image
Faith, like a guillotine. As heavy, as light.
Franz Kafka
Image
You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.
Franz Kafka
Image
Do not waste your time looking for an obstacle - maybe there is none.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skull, why then do we read it?
Franz Kafka
Image
How can one take delight in the world unless one flees to it for refuge?
Franz Kafka
Image
One of the most effective means of seduction that Evil has is the challenge to struggle. It is like the struggle with women, whichends in bed. A married man's true deviations from the path of virtue are, rightly understood, never gay.
Franz Kafka
Image
I won't give up the diary again. I must hold on here, it is the only place I can.
Franz Kafka
Image
Our art is a way of being dazzled by truth: the light on the grotesquely grimacing retreating face is true, and nothing else.
Franz Kafka
Image
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.
