More quotes by Franz Kafka
It is strange how little sharpsightedness women possess they only notice whether they please, then whether they arouse pity, and finally, whether you look for compassion from them. That is all come to think of it, it may even be enough, generally speaking.
Franz Kafka
The whole visible world is perhaps nothing more than the rationalization of a man who wants to find peace for a moment.
Franz Kafka
He is a free and secure citizen of the world because he is on a chain that is long enough to allow him access to all parts of the earth, and yet not so long that he could be swept over the edge of it.
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
This morning, for the first time in a long time, the joy again of imagining a knife twisted in my heart.
Franz Kafka
One day, a leopard stalked into the synagogue, roaring and lashing its tail. Three weeks later, it had become part of the liturgy.
Franz Kafka
All human errors are impatience, a premature breaking off of methodical procedure, an apparent fencing-in of what is apparently at issue.
Franz Kafka
A belief is like a guillotine, just as heavy, just as light.
Franz Kafka
Because of impatience we were driven out [of Paradise] because of impatience we cannot return.
Franz Kafka
What am I doing here in this endless winter?
Franz Kafka
From the true antagonist illimitable courage is transmitted to you.
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
You can choose to be free , but it's last decision you'll ever make
Franz Kafka
What is meant by its nature for the highest and the best, spreads among the lowly people.
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
The Kafka paradox: art depends on truth, but truth, being indivisable, cannot know itself: to tell the truth is to lie. thus the writer is the truth, and yet when he speakes he lies.
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
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
Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle.
Franz Kafka
You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.
Franz Kafka
