More quotes by Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
All science is methodolgy with regard to the Absolute. Therefore, there need be no fear of the unequivocally methodological. It isa husk, but not more than everything except the One.
Franz Kafka
It receives you when you come and dismisses you when you go.
Franz Kafka
I, however, cannot force myself to use meat drugs to cheat on my loneliness.
Franz Kafka
The more horses you yoke the quicker everything will go - not the rending of the block from its foundation, which is impossible, but the snapping of the traces and with that the gay and empty journey.
Franz Kafka
The whole visible world is perhaps nothing more than the rationalization of a man who wants to find peace for a moment.
Franz Kafka
If it had been possible to build the Tower of Babel without climbing it, it would have been permitted.
Franz Kafka
Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.
Franz Kafka
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
They say ignorance is bliss.... they're wrong
Franz Kafka
You too have weapons.
Franz Kafka
They're talking about things of which they don't have the slightest understanding, anyway. It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.
Franz Kafka
