Quote

If you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you're okay. Who watches out or you and wants the best for you. Who loves and respects you. Don't let them go. People like that are hard to find.

More quotes by Franz Kafka

Image
We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.
Franz Kafka
Image
I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more
Franz Kafka
Image
I am more uncertain than I ever was I feel only the power of life. And I am senselessly empty.
Franz Kafka
Image
They say ignorance is bliss.... they're wrong
Franz Kafka
Image
We need the books that affect us like a disaster
Franz Kafka
Image
I wanted to escape the unrest, to shut out the voices around me and within me, so I write.
Franz Kafka
Image
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
Image
I believe that we should read only those books that bite and sting us. If a book we are reading does not rouse us with a blow to the head, then why read it?
Franz Kafka
Image
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
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
The Expulsion from Paradise is eternal in its principal aspect: this makes it irrevocable, and our living in this world inevitable, but the eternal nature of the process has the effect that not only could we remain forever in Paradise, but that we are currently there, whether we know it or not.
Franz Kafka
Image
I passed by the brothel as though past the house of a beloved.
Franz Kafka
Image
All knowledge, the totality of all questions and answers, is contained in the dog.
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
The notion of the infinite expanse and copiousness of the cosmos is the result of the mixture, carried to the extreme limit, of laborious creation and free self-determination.
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
If this is what you came for, then I didn't send for you. Kafka (note to himself in journal)
Franz Kafka
Image
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.
Franz Kafka
Image
Anybody who preserves the ability to recognize beauty will never get old.
Franz Kafka

He who does not answer the questions has passed the test.
