More quotes by Franz Kafka
I can't feel a thing All mournful petal storms are dancing inside the very private spring of my head.
Franz Kafka
It's sometimes quite astonishing that a single, average life is enough to encompass so much that it's at all possible ever to have any success in one's work here.
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
Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.
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
You can choose to be free , but it's last decision you'll ever make
Franz Kafka
Faith, like a guillotine. As heavy, as light.
Franz Kafka
The notion of the infinite expanse and copiousness of the cosmos is the result of the mixture, carried to the extreme limit, of laborious creation and free self-determination.
Franz Kafka
There are two main human sins from which all the others derive: impatience and indolence. It was because of impatience that they were expelled from Paradise it is because of indolence that they do not return. Yet perhaps there is only one major sin: impatience. Because of impatience they were expelled, because of impatience they do not return.
Franz Kafka
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.
Franz Kafka
Written kisses don't reach their destination, rather they are drunk on the way by the ghosts.
Franz Kafka
In argument similes are like songs in love they describe much, but prove nothing.
Franz Kafka
He who does not answer the questions has passed the test.
Franz Kafka
Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.
Franz Kafka
They did not know what we can now guess at, contemplating the course of history: that change begins in the soul before it appears in ordinary existence.
Franz Kafka
Because of impatience we were driven out [of Paradise] because of impatience we cannot return.
Franz Kafka
There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.
Franz Kafka
In theory there is a possibility of perfect happiness: To believe in the indestructible element within one, and not to strive towards it.
Franz Kafka
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us.
Franz Kafka
Love has as few problems as a motor car. The only problems are the driver, the passengers, and the road.
Franz Kafka
