More quotes by Franz Kafka
It receives you when you come and dismisses you when you go.
Franz Kafka
it was like this. the brain could no longer bear the worries and pains that were imposed on it. it said: i'm giving up but if there is anyone else here who is interested in preserving the whole, let him assume part of my burden and it will be alright for a bit.
Franz Kafka
There sat I, a faded being, under faded leaves.
Franz Kafka
I want in fact more of you. In my mind I am dressing you with light I am wrapping you up in blankets of complete acceptance and then I give myself to you. I long for you I who usually long without longing, as though I am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you.
Franz Kafka
In the fight between you and the world, back the world.
Franz Kafka
Sometimes I think I can expiate all my past and future sins through the aching of my bones.
Franz Kafka
From a real antagonist one gains boundless courage.
Franz Kafka
We are separated from God on two sides the Fall separates us from Him, the Tree of Life separates Him from us.
Franz Kafka
If they were shocked, then Gregor had no further responsibility and could be calm. But if they took everything calmly, he he, too, had no reason to get excited and could, if he hurried, actually be at the station by eight o'clock.
Franz Kafka
The founder brought the laws from the lawgiver the faithful are meant to announce the laws to the lawgiver.
Franz Kafka
The true way goes over a line that, rather than spanning heights, is hardly above the ground. It appears more decidedly to make one trip than to be walked along.
Franz Kafka
This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.
Franz Kafka
I never wish to be easily defined.
Franz Kafka
Last night I dreamed about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally you somehow caught fire.
Franz Kafka
There they lay, but not in the forgetfulness of the previous night. She was seeking and he was seeking, they raged and contorted their faces and bored their heads into each others bosom in the urgency of seeking something, and their embraces and their tossing limbs did not avail to make them forget, but only reminded them of what they sought
Franz Kafka
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
Leopards break into the temple and drink all the sacrificial vessels dry it keeps happening in the end, it can be calculated in advance and is incorporated into the ritual.
Franz Kafka
The true way goes over a rope which is not stretched at any great height but just above the ground. It seems more designed to make people stumble than to be walked upon.
Franz Kafka
Sometimes I'd like to stuff all Jews (myself included) into the drawer of a laundry basket. then open it to see if they've suffocated
Franz Kafka
The man in ecstasy and the man drowning: both raise their arms.
Franz Kafka
