More quotes by Franz Kafka
I am too tired, I must try to rest and sleep, otherwise I am lost in every respect. What an effort to keep alive! Erecting a monument does not require an expenditure of so much strength.
Franz Kafka
You're not cross with me, though? he said. She pulled her hand away and answered, No, no, I'm never cross with anyone.
Franz Kafka
Even the merest gesture is holy if it is filled with faith.
Franz Kafka
I hate everything that does not relate to literature, conversations bore me (even if they relate to literature), to visit people bores me, the sorrows and joys of my relatives bore me to the very soul. Conversation takes the importance, the seriousness, the truth, out of everything I think.
Franz Kafka
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.
Franz Kafka
If I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?
Franz Kafka
All knowledge, the totality of all questions and answers, is contained in the dog.
Franz Kafka
In the struggle between yourself and the world second the world.
Franz Kafka
May I kiss you then? On this miserable paper? I might as well open the window and kiss the night air.
Franz Kafka
I do not see the world at all I invent it.
Franz Kafka
A picture of my existence... would show a useless wooden stake covered in snow... stuck loosely at a slant in the ground in a ploughed field on the edge of a vast open plain on a dark winter night.
Franz Kafka
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
From the true antagonist illimitable courage is transmitted to you.
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
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
I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness.
Franz Kafka
Paths are made by walking
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
I carry the bars within me.
Franz Kafka
It receives you when you come and dismisses you when you go.
Franz Kafka
