it was like this. the brain could no longer bear the worries and pains that were imposed on it. it said: i'm giving up but if there is anyone else here who is interested in preserving the whole, let him assume part of my burden and it will be alright for a bit.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Faith, like a guillotine. As heavy, as light.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
The purpose of a story is to be an axe that breaks up the ice within us.
Franz Kafka
Everyone carries a room about inside him. This fact can even be proved by means of the sense of hearing. If someone walks fast and one pricks up one’s ears and listens, say in the night, when everything round about is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall.
Franz Kafka
He was a tool of the boss, without brains or backbone.
Franz Kafka
there is nothing bad to fear once you have crossed that threshold, all is well. Another world, and you do not have to speak
Franz Kafka
He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.
Franz Kafka
What's happened to me,' he thought. It was no dream.
Franz Kafka
There's an infinite amount of hope but not for us.
Franz Kafka
The delights of this life are not its own, but our fear of the ascent into a higher life the torments of this life are not its own, but our self-torment because of that fear.
Franz Kafka
Books are a narcotic.
Franz Kafka
