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."
"Even the merest gesture is holy if it is filled with faith."
"He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived."
"Every word first looks around in every direction before letting itself be written down by me."
