Each of us has his own way of emerging from the underworld, mine is by writing. That's why the only way I can keep going, if at all, is by writing, not through rest and sleep. I am far more likely to achieve peace of mind through writing than the capacity to write through peace.

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Image
There art two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness.
Franz Kafka
Image
Photography concentrates one's eye on the superficial. For that reason it obscures the hidden life which glimmers through the outlines of things like a play of light and shade. One can't catch that even with the sharpest lens.
Franz Kafka
Image
A belief is like a guillotine, just as heavy, just as light.
Franz Kafka
Image
In a certain sense you deny the existence of this world. You explain life as a state of rest, a state of rest in motion.
Franz Kafka
Image
He was a tool of the boss, without brains or backbone.
Franz Kafka

The founder brought the laws from the lawgiver the faithful are meant to announce the laws to the lawgiver.

The Expulsion from Paradise is eternal in its principal aspect: this makes it irrevocable, and our living in this world inevitable, but the eternal nature of the process has the effect that not only could we remain forever in Paradise, but that we are currently there, whether we know it or not.
Franz Kafka
Image
Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.
Franz Kafka
Image
I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand very quietly in a corner, content that I can breathe.

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.
