I never wish to be easily defined.
Franz Kafka

Everyone carries a room about inside him. This fact can even be proved by means of the sense of hearing. If someone walks fast and one pricks up one’s ears and listens, say in the night, when everything round about is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall.
Franz Kafka
Image
Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live.
Franz Kafka
Image
Life is merely terrible I feel it as few others do. Often — and in my inmost self perhaps all the time — I doubt whether I am a human being.
Franz Kafka
Image
The notion of the infinite expanse and copiousness of the cosmos is the result of the mixture, carried to the extreme limit, of laborious creation and free self-determination.
Franz Kafka
Image
There can be knowledge of the diabolical, but no belief in it, for more of the diabolical than there is does not exist.
Franz Kafka
Image
One must fight to get to the top, especially if one starts at the bottom.
Franz Kafka
Image
I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.
Franz Kafka
Image
Heaven is dumb, echoing only the dumb.
Franz Kafka
Image
I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.
Franz Kafka
Image
You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.
Franz Kafka
