FRANZ KAFKAThere art two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness.
FRANZ KAFKAYou can choose to be free , but it’s last decision you’ll ever make
FRANZ KAFKAEven if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it at every moment.
FRANZ KAFKAYou can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
FRANZ KAFKAThe meaning of life is that it stops.
FRANZ KAFKAAnyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
FRANZ KAFKAYou are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.
FRANZ KAFKADo you know, darling? When you became involved with others you quite possibly stepped down a level or two, but If you become involved with me, you will be throwing yourself into the abyss.
FRANZ KAFKABooks are a narcotic.
FRANZ KAFKAA non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity.
FRANZ KAFKAForget everything. Open the windows. Clear the room. The wind blows through it. You see only its emptiness, you search in every corner and don’t find yourself.
FRANZ KAFKAI lack nothing. I only needed myself.
FRANZ KAFKAI write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.
FRANZ KAFKAWhat if I slept a little more and forgot about all this nonsense.
FRANZ KAFKASo eager are our people to obliterate the present.
FRANZ KAFKASleep is the most innocent creature there is and a sleepless man the most guilty.
