Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
There are two main human sins from which all the others derive: impatience and indolence. It was because of impatience that they were expelled from Paradise it is because of indolence that they do not return. Yet perhaps there is only one major sin: impatience. Because of impatience they were expelled, because of impatience they do not return.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Now the Sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence... someone might possibly have escaped from their singing but from their silence, certainly never.
Franz Kafka
Going to pieces. To go to pieces so pointlessly and unnecessarily.
Franz Kafka
Anyone who loves his neighbor within the limits of the world is doing no more and no less injustice than someone who loves himself within the limits of the world.
Franz Kafka
You are so vulnerably haunting. Your eeriness is terrifyingly irresistible.
Franz Kafka
His biggest misgiving came from his concern about the loud crash that was bound to occur and would probably create, if not terror, at least anxiety behind all the doors. But that would have to be risked.
Franz Kafka
Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live.
Franz Kafka
Kill me, or you are a murderer.
Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
