More quotes by Franz Kafka
Because of impatience we were driven out [of Paradise] because of impatience we cannot return.
Franz Kafka
I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.
Franz Kafka
The more horses you yoke the quicker everything will go - not the rending of the block from its foundation, which is impossible, but the snapping of the traces and with that the gay and empty journey.
Franz Kafka
If you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you're okay. Who watches out or you and wants the best for you. Who loves and respects you. Don't let them go. People like that are hard to find.
Franz Kafka
Atlas was permitted the opinion that he was at liberty, if he wished, to drop the Earth and creep away but this opinion was all that he was permitted.
Franz Kafka
There is a goal but no way what we call the way is mere wavering.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Should I be grateful or should I curse the fact that despite all misfortune I can still feel love, an unearthly love but still for earthly objects.
Franz Kafka
There's an infinite amount of hope but not for us.
Franz Kafka
There art two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness.
Franz Kafka
One can disintegrate the world by means of very strong light. For weak eyes the world becomes solid, for still weaker eyes it seems to develop fists, for eyes weaker still it becomes shamefaced and smashes anyone who dares to gaze upon it.
Franz Kafka
This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me.
Franz Kafka
Two tasks at the beginning of your life: to narrow your orbit more and more, and ever and again to check whether you are not in hiding somewhere outside your orbit.
Franz Kafka
I never imagined that so many days would ultimately make such a small life.
Franz Kafka
Utterance does not in principle mean a weakening of conviction--that would not be anything to be deplored--but a weakness of conviction.
Franz Kafka
I carry the bars within me.
Franz Kafka
Faith, like a guillotine. As heavy, as light.
Franz Kafka
We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.
Franz Kafka
Now I can look at you in peace I don't eat you any more.
Franz Kafka
