Franz Kafka
He who does not answer the questions has passed the test.
Franz Kafka
A picture of my existence... would show a useless wooden stake covered in snow... stuck loosely at a slant in the ground in a ploughed field on the edge of a vast open plain on a dark winter night.
Franz Kafka
One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.
Franz Kafka
The limited circle is pure.
Franz Kafka
If I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?
