More Quotes by Franz Kafka
Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it at every moment.
Every thing you love is very likely to be lost, but in the end, love will return in a different way.
sleep is the most innocent creature there is and a sleepless man the most guilty.
Do you realize that people don't know how to read Kafka simply because they want to decipher him? Instead of letting themselves be carried away by his unequaled imagination, they look for allegories — and come up with nothing but clichés: life is absurd (or it is not absurd), God is beyond reach (or within reach), etc. You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.
I carry the bars within me.
Un libro dev'essere un'ascia per il mare ghiacciato che è dentro di noi.

Having a trial like that means losing a trial like that (Sufrir un proceso es casi haberlo perdido)
No writer in our time has been more isolated than Kafka, and yet few have achieved communication as well as he did.
