Art flies around truth, but with the definite intention of not getting burnt. Its capacity lies in finding in the dark void a place where the beam of light can be intensely caught, without this having been perceptible before.
Franz Kafka
Image
In the struggle between yourself and the world second the world.
Franz Kafka
Image
There will be no proof that I ever was a writer.
Franz Kafka
Image
One of the most effective means of seduction that Evil has is the challenge to struggle. It is like the struggle with women, whichends in bed. A married man's true deviations from the path of virtue are, rightly understood, never gay.
Franz Kafka
Image
Evil is whatever distracts.
Franz Kafka
Image
My doubts stand in a circle around every word, I see them before I see the word, but what then! I do not see the word at all, I invent it.

Franz Kafka
Image
Every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Image
. . . The books we need are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of someone we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation-a book should serve as an axe for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka
Image
The man in ecstasy and the man drowning: both raise their arms.
Franz Kafka
Image
What's happened to me,' he thought. It was no dream.
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
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
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
If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skull, why then do we read it?
Franz Kafka
