"There they lay, but not in the..." - Quote by Franz Kafka

“I don't know who the great lawyers are, and I presume you can't get to them. I know of no case where it can be said for certain that they took part. They defend some people, but you can't get them to do that through your own efforts, they only defend the ones they want to defend. But I assume a case they take on must have progressed beyond the lower court. It's better not to think of them at all, otherwise you'll find the consultations with the other lawyers, their advice and their assistance, extremely disgusting and useless.”

“Ours is a lost generation, it may be, but it is more blameless than those earlier generations.”

“One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a monstrous bug.”

“It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.”

“Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune:every success depends upon focusing the heart.”

“The way is One and only One. The way is close at hand, but men seek it afar.”

“Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires. All wars are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.”

“A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self control is the rule. Anger is an uncontrollable feeling that betrays what you are when you are not yourself. Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason. Know this to be the enemy: it is anger, born of desire.”

“All achievement, no matter what may be its nature, or its purpose, must begin with an intense, burning desire for something definite.”
