I usually solve problems by letting them devour me.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

It requires enormous presence ...

It requires enormous presence of mind or rather quickness of wit, when opening your eyes to seize hold as it were of everything in the room at exactly the same place where you had let it go on the previous evening. That is why the moment of waking up was the riskiest moment of the day. Once that was well over without deflecting you from your orbit, you could take heart of grace for the rest of the day.

This morning, for the first time in a long time, the joy again of imagining a knife twisted in my heart.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Every thing that you love, you...

Every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

We need the books that affect us like a disaster

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

A picture of my existence... w...

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 501 quotes

Art is for the artist is only ...

Art is for the artist is only suffering through which he releases himself for further suffering.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

German is my mother tongue and as such more natural to me, but I consider Czech much more affectionate, which is why your letter removes several uncertainties; I see you more clearly, the movements of your body, your hands, so quick, so resolute, it's almost like a meeting.

My doubts stand in a circle around every word, I see them before I see the word, but what then! I do not see the word at all, I invent it.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

I hate everything that does no...

I hate everything that does not relate to literature, conversations bore me (even when they relate to literature), to visit people bores me, the joys and sorrows of my relatives bore me to my soul. Conversation takes the importance, the seriousness, the truth, out of everything I think.

I can't feel a thing; All mournful petal storms are dancing inside the very private spring of my head.

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

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

The Fathers of the Church were...

The Fathers of the Church were not afraid to go out into the desert because they had a richness in their hearts. But we, with richness all around us, are afraid, because the desert is in our hearts.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

I can once more carry on a conversation with myself, and don't stare so into complete emptiness. Only in this way is there any possibility of improvement for me.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Only the moment counts. It determines life.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

This perversion of the truth, ...

This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

We live in an age which is so ...

We live in an age which is so possessed by demons, that soon we shall only be able to do goodness and justice in the deepest secrecy, as if it were a crime.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

The whole visible world is per...

The whole visible world is perhaps nothing more than the rationalization of a man who wants to find peace for a moment.

Torment yourself as little as possible, then you'll torment me less.
