Franz Kafka
If I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty.
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's no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.
Franz Kafka
So then you’re free?’ ‘Yes, I’m free,’ said Karl, and nothing seemed more worthless than his freedom.
Franz Kafka
Human nature, essentially changeable, as unstable as the dust, can endure no restraint if it binds itself it soon begins to tear madly at its bonds, until it rends everything asunder, the wall, the bonds, and its very self.
Franz Kafka
From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.
Franz Kafka
Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle.
Franz Kafka
The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.
Franz Kafka
There are questions we could not get past if we were not set free from them by our very nature.
Franz Kafka
