More quotes by Franz Kafka
We live in an age which is so possessed by demons, that soon we shall only be able to do goodness and justice in the deepest secrecy, as if it were a crime.
Franz Kafka
The man in ecstasy and the man drowning - both throw up their arms. The first to signify harmony, the second to signify strife with the elements.
Franz Kafka
I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more
Franz Kafka
The ulterior motives with which you absorb and assimilate Evil are not your own but those of Evil.
Franz Kafka
Books are a narcotic.
Franz Kafka
A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka
Writers speak stench.
Franz Kafka
The cruelty of death lies in the fact that it brings the real sorrow of the end, but not the end. The greatest cruelty of death: an apparent end causes a real sorrow. Our salvation is death, but not this one.
Franz Kafka
My 'fear' is my substance, and probably the best part of me.
Franz Kafka
Because of impatience we were driven out [of Paradise] because of impatience we cannot return.
Franz Kafka
There's an infinite amount of hope but not for us.
Franz Kafka
Writer speaks a stench.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
First impressions are always unreliable.
Franz Kafka
In the fight between you and the world, back the world.
Franz Kafka
He who does not answer the questions has passed the test.
Franz Kafka
You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
Franz Kafka
It would have been so pointless to kill himself that, even if he had wanted to, the pointlessness would have made him unable.
Franz Kafka
One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.
Franz Kafka
The relationship to one's fellow man is the relationship of prayer, the relationship to oneself is the relationship of striving it is from prayer that one draws the strength for one's striving.
Franz Kafka
