More by Franz Kafka “Love has as few problems as a motor car. The only problems are the driver, the passengers, and the road.” “All knowledge, the totality of all questions and all answers, is contained in the dog. If one could but realize this knowledge, if one could but bring it into the light of day, if we dogs would but own that we know infinitely more than we admit to ourselves!” “Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.” More on Philosophy “If thinking is like perceiving, it must be either a process in which the soul is acted upon by what is capable of being thought, or a process different from but analogous to that. The thinking part of the soul must therefore be, while impassable, capable of receiving the form of an object; that is, must be potentially identical in character with its object without being the object. Mind must be related to what is thinkable, as sense is to what is sensible.” “Anything which is a living and not a dying body... will have to be an incarnate will to power, it will strive to grow, spread, seize, become predominant - not from any morality or immorality but because it is living and because life simply is will to power... 'Exploitation'... belongs to the essence of what lives, as a basic organic function; it is a consequence of the will to power, which is after all the will to life.” “It is our duty to select the best and most dependable theory that human intelligence can supply, and use it as a raft to ride the seas of life.”
