"My job is unbearable to me because..." - Quote by Franz Kafka

“I usually solve problems by letting them devour me.”

“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 speakes he lies.”

“Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live.”

“Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.”

“You ask whether I have ever been in love: fool as I am, I am not such a fool as that. But if one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business. But though I have no personal experience of the things they call love, I have what is better - the experience of Sappho, of Euripides, of Catallus, of Shakespeare, of Spenser, of Austen, of Bronte, of anyone else I have read.”

“The only link between Literature and the Drama left to us in England at the present moment is the bill of the play.”

“It was as if they had leapt over the arduous cavalry of conjugal life and gone straight to the heart of love. They were together in silence like an old married couple wary of life, beyond the pitfalls of passion, beyond the brutal mockery of hope and the phantoms of disillusion: beyond love. For they had lived together long enough to know that love was always love, anytime and anyplace, but it was more solid the closer it came to death.”

“Money-or rather the lack of it to carry out my ideas-may worry me, but it does not excite me.”

“Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.”
