More quotes by Franz Kafka
Art flies around truth, but with the definite intention of not getting burnt. Its capacity lies in finding in the dark void a place where the beam of light can be intensely caught, without this having been perceptible before.
Franz Kafka
We need the books that affect us like a disaster
Franz Kafka
And so gentlemen, I learned. Oh, if you have to learn, you learn if you’re desperate for a way out, you learn you learn pitilessly. You stand over yourself with a whip in your hand if there’s the least resistance, you lash yourself.
Franz Kafka
Life is merely terrible I feel it as few others do. Often — and in my inmost self perhaps all the time — I doubt whether I am a human being.
Franz Kafka
Hold fast to the diary from today on! Write regularly! Don't surrender! Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it every moment.
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
For words are magical formulae. They leave finger marks be hind on the brain, which in the twinkling of an eye become the footprints of history. One ought to watch one' s every word.
Franz Kafka
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
Franz Kafka
I won't give up the diary again. I must hold on here, it is the only place I can.
Franz Kafka
Writer speaks a stench.
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
Even the merest gesture is holy if it is filled with faith.
Franz Kafka
You need not even listen, just wait...the world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself.
Franz Kafka
In man's struggle against the world, bet on the world.
Franz Kafka
They say ignorance is bliss.... they're wrong
Franz Kafka
I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand very quietly in a corner, content that I can breathe.
Franz Kafka
There are questions we could not get past if we were not set free from them by our very nature.
Franz Kafka
Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.
Franz Kafka
The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.
Franz Kafka
In the struggle between yourself and the world second the world.
Franz Kafka
