Last night I dreamed about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally you somehow caught fire.
Franz Kafka -
Der Mensch kann nicht leben ohne ein dauerndes Vertrauen zu etwas Unzerstörbarem in sich, wobei sowohl das Unzerstörbare als auch das Vertrauen ihm dauernd verborgen bleiben können. Eine der Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten dieses Verborgen-Bleibens ist der Glaube an einen persönlichen Gott.
Franz Kafka
-
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 -
There is nothing besides a spiritual world; what we call the world of the senses is the Evil in the spiritual world, and what we call Evil is only the necessity of a moment in our eternal evolution.
Franz Kafka -
I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.
Franz Kafka -

Franz Kafka -
I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.
Franz Kafka -
If you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you're okay. Who watches out or you and wants the best for you. Who loves and respects you. Don't let them go. People like that are hard to find.
Franz Kafka -
Anything that has real and lasting value is always a gift from within.
Franz Kafka -
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Franz Kafka -
How can one take delight in the world unless one flees to it for refuge?
Franz Kafka

No sooner said than done - so acts your man of worth.

A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka -
The purpose of a story is to be an axe that breaks up the ice within us.
Franz Kafka
-
First impressions are always unreliable.
Franz Kafka -
If the literature we are reading does not wake us, why then do we read it? A literary work must be an ice-axe to break the sea frozen inside us.
Franz Kafka -
Anyone who believes cannot experience miracles. By day one does not see any stars. Anyone who does miracles says: I cannot let go of the earth.
Franz Kafka -
Ours is a lost generation, it may be, but it is more blameless than those earlier generations.
