More quotes by Franz Kafka

"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 speaks he lies."
"Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself."
"I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness."
"Evil does not exist; once you have crossed the threshold, all is good. Once in another world, you must hold your tongue."
