Image
April 27. Incapable of living with people, of speaking. Complete immersion in myself, thinking of myself. Apathetic, witless, fearful. I have nothing to say to anyone - never.
Franz Kafka
Image
Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.
Franz Kafka
Image
One day, a leopard stalked into the synagogue, roaring and lashing its tail. Three weeks later, it had become part of the liturgy.
Franz Kafka
Image
Kill me, or you are a murderer.
Franz Kafka
Image
There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.
Franz Kafka
Image
I am too tired, I must try to rest and sleep, otherwise I am lost in every respect. What an effort to keep alive! Erecting a monument does not require an expenditure of so much strength.
Franz Kafka
Image
We need the books that affect us like a disaster
Franz Kafka
Image
There will be no proof that I ever was a writer.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.
Franz Kafka
Image
From a real antagonist one gains boundless courage.
Franz Kafka
Image
Man cannot live without a continuous confidence in something indestructible within himself.
Franz Kafka
Image
Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle.
Franz Kafka
Image
Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Franz Kafka
Image
I passed by the brothel as though past the house of a beloved.
Franz Kafka
Image
Love has as few problems as a motor car. The only problems are the driver, the passengers, and the road.
Franz Kafka
Image
He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.
Franz Kafka
Image
I can love only what I can place so high above me that I cannot reach it.
Franz Kafka
