There is an infinite amount of hope in the universe ... but not for us.

Love is, that you are the knife which I plunge into myself.

past the house of a beloved.

If this is what you came for, then I didn't send for you. Kafka (note to himself in journal)

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

And I leave my post of observa...

And I leave my post of observation and find I have had enough of this outside life; I feel that there is nothing more that I can learn here, either now or at any time. And I long to say a last goodbye to everything up here, to go down into my burrow never to return again, let things take their course, and not try to retard them with my profitless vigils.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

Follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

If the book we are reading doe...

If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skull, why then do we read? So that it shall make us happy? Good God, we should also be happy if we had no books, and such books as make us happy we could, if need be, write ourselves. But what we must have are those books which come upon us like ill fortune, and distress us deeply, like the death of one we love better than ourselves; like suicide. A book must be an ice-axe to break the sea frozen inside us.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

The dream reveals the reality ...

The dream reveals the reality which conception lags behind. That is the horror of life-the terror of art.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

I answer one of your letters, ...

I answer one of your letters, then lie in bed in apparent calm, but my heart beats through my entire body and is conscious only of you. I belong to you; there is really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

We were created in order to live in Paradise, and Paradise was ordained to serve us.
What was ordained for us has been changed; it is not said
that this has also happened with what was ordained for Paradise.

I am on the hunt for constructions. I come into a room and find them whitely merging in a corner.

Writing means revealing oneself to excess.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

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 501 quotes

Just think how many thoughts a blanket smothers while one lies alone in bed, and how many unhappy dreams it keeps warm.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

The Kafka paradox: art depends...

The Kafka paradox: art depends on truth, but truth, being indivisable, cannot know itself: to tell the truth is to lie. thus the writer is the truth, and yet when he speakes he lies.

First impressions are always unreliable.

Franz Kafka 501 quotes

My grandfather used to say: Life is astoundingly short. To me, looking back over it, life seems so foreshortened that I scarcely understand, for instance, how a young man can decide to ride over to the next village without being afraid that -not to mention accidents- even the span of a normal happy life may fall far short of the time needed for such a journey.
