Franz Kafka
I do not see the world at all I invent it.
Franz Kafka
Leopards break into the temple and drink all the sacrificial vessels dry it keeps happening in the end, it can be calculated in advance and is incorporated into the ritual.
Franz Kafka
Picasso only registers the deformities which have not yet penetrated our consciousness. Art is a mirror which goes 'fast' like a watch - sometimes.
Franz Kafka
So eager are our people to obliterate the present.
Franz Kafka
Officials are highly educated but one-sided in his own department an official can grasp whole trains of thought from a single word, but let him have something from another department explained to him ... he won't understand a word of it.
Franz Kafka
Human nature, essentially changeable, as unstable as the dust, can endure no restraint if it binds itself it soon begins to tear madly at its bonds, until it rends everything asunder, the wall, the bonds, and its very self.
Franz Kafka
The ulterior motives with which you absorb and assimilate Evil are not your own but those of Evil.
Franz Kafka
The experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter, in mind and as mind, in emotion, as emotion, etc.
Franz Kafka
