You see, I have only such a fugitive awareness of things around me that I always feel they were once real and are now fleeting away.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Death confronts us not unlike ...

Death confronts us not unlike the historical battle scene that hangs on the wall of the classroom. It is our task to obscure or quite obliterate the picture by our deeds while we are still in this world.

Marrying, founding a family, accepting all the children that come, supporting them in this insecure world, and perhaps even guiding them a little, is, I am convinced, the utmost a human being can succeed in doing at all.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Every new discovery is assumed...

Every new discovery is assumed at once into the sum total of knowledge, and with that ceases in a sense to be a discovery; it dissolves into the whole and disappears, and one must have a trained scientific eye even to recognize it after that.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

My job is unbearable to me bec...

My job is unbearable to me because it conflicts with my only desire and my only calling, which is literature. Since I am nothing but literature and can and want to be nothing else, my job will never take possession of me, it may, however, shatter me completely, and this is by no means a remote possibility.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Time is short, my strength is ...

Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible, then one must try to wriggle through by subtle manoeuvres.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

But what if all the tranquility, all the comfort, all the contentment were now to come to a horrifying end?

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

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 501 quotes

It would be very unjust to say...

It would be very unjust to say that you deserted me, but that I was deserted, and sometimes terribly so, is true.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

One has just been sent out as a biblical dove, has found nothing green, and slips back into the darkness of the Ark

Just because your doctor has a name for your condition, doesn't mean he knows what it is.

Palestine needs earth, but it does not need lawyers.

If education tries to make other persons out of us than we essentially are, deeper inside, it stultifies, and reproach matters.

Anybody who preserves the ability to recognize beauty will never get old.
