I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

If you become involved with me...

If you become involved with me, you will be throwing yourself into the abyss.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

sleep is the most innocent creature there is and a sleepless man the most guilty.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

I'm tired, can't think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

As far as I have seen, at school...they aimed at blotting out one's individuality.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

You need not even listen, just...

You need not even listen, just wait...the world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

'Don't you want to join us?'...

'Don't you want to join us?' I was recently asked by an acquaintance when he ran across me alone after midnight in a coffeehouse that was already almost deserted. 'No, I don't,' I said.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Photography concentrates one's...

Photography concentrates one's eye on the superficial. For that reason it obscures the hidden life which glimmers through the outlines of things like a play of light and shade. One can't catch that even with the sharpest lens.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

There are some things one can ...

There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

You, who can't do anything, think you can bring off something like that? How can you even dare to think about it? If you were capable of it, you certainly wouldn't be in need of it.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

. . . The books we need are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of someone we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation-a book should serve as an axe for the frozen sea within us.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

One can disintegrate the world...

One can disintegrate the world by means of very strong light. For weak eyes the world becomes solid, for still weaker eyes it seems to develop fists, for eyes weaker still it becomes shamefaced and smashes anyone who dares to gaze upon it.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

There is a down-and-outness under true knowledge and a childlike happy arising from it.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

From outside one will always t...

From outside one will always triumphantly impress theories upon the world and then fall straight into the ditch one has dug, but only from inside will one keep oneself and the world quiet and true.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Why do we complain about the F...

Why do we complain about the Fall? It is not on its account that we were expelled from Paradise, but on account of the Tree of Life, lest we might eat of it.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

A non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

The tremendous world I have in...

The tremendous world I have inside my head. But how free myself and free it without being torn to pieces. And a thousand times rather be torn to pieces than retain it in me or bury it. That, indeed, is why I am here, that is quite clear to me.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

The ulterior motives with whic...

The ulterior motives with which you absorb and assimilate Evil are not your own but those of Evil.
The animal wrests the whip from its master and whips itself in order to become master, not knowing that this is only a fantasy produced by a new knot in the master's whiplash.
