Sometimes I think I can expiate all my past and future sins through the aching of my bones.
Franz Kafka
Image
The Fathers of the Church were not afraid to go out into the desert because they had a richness in their hearts. But we, with richness all around us, are afraid, because the desert is in our hearts.
Franz Kafka
Image
I wanted to escape the unrest, to shut out the voices around me and within me, so I write.
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
Two tasks at the beginning of your life: to narrow your orbit more and more, and ever and again to check whether you are not in hiding somewhere outside your orbit.
Franz Kafka

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

Franz Kafka
Image
One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.
Franz Kafka

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
The more horses you yoke the quicker everything will go - not the rending of the block from its foundation, which is impossible, but the snapping of the traces and with that the gay and empty journey.
Franz Kafka
Image
In the fight between you and the world, back the world.
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
There is nothing besides a spiritual world what we call the world of the senses is the Evil in the spiritual world, and what we call Evil is only the necessity of a moment in our eternal evolution.
Franz Kafka
Image
In man's struggle against the world, bet on the world.
Franz Kafka
Image
A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka
Image
Anyone who loves his neighbor within the limits of the world is doing no more and no less injustice than someone who loves himself within the limits of the world.
Franz Kafka
Image
From the true antagonist illimitable courage is transmitted to you.
Franz Kafka
Image
Each of us has his own way of emerging from the underworld, mine is by writing. That's why the only way I can keep going, if at all, is by writing, not through rest and sleep. I am far more likely to achieve peace of mind through writing than the capacity to write through peace.
Franz Kafka
Image
Picasso only registers the deformities which have not yet penetrated our consciousness. Art is a mirror which goes 'fast' like a watch - sometimes.
Franz Kafka
Image
The man in ecstasy and the man drowning: both raise their arms.
Franz Kafka
