Franz Kafka
Image
Now I can look at you in peace I don't eat you any more.
Franz Kafka
Image
If I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?
Franz Kafka
Image
A belief is like a guillotine, just as heavy, just as light.
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
