More quotes by Franz Kafka

"A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us."
"Evil does not exist; once you have crossed the threshold, all is good. Once in another world, you must hold your tongue."
"Every word first looks around in every direction before letting itself be written down by me."
"L'éternité, c'est long ... surtout vers la fin."
