"He is a free and secure citizen..." - Quote by Franz Kafka

“Human nature, essentially changeable, as unstable as the dust, can endure no restraint; if it binds itself it soon begins to tear madly at its bonds, until it rends everything asunder, the wall, the bonds, and its very self.”

“So eager are our people to obliterate the present.”

“But eternity is not temporality at a standstill. What is oppressive about the concept of the eternal is the justification, incomprehensible to us, that time must undergo in eternity and the logical conclusion of that, the justification of ourselves as we are.”

“When you educate a woman, you set her free. Had I not had books and education in Mississippi, I would have believed that's all there was.”

“A thousand men enslaved fear one beast free.”

“Nightingales are put in cages because their songs give pleasure. Whoever heard of keeping a crow?”

“The prince who relies upon their words, without having otherwise provided for his security, is ruined; for friendships that are won by awards, and not by greatness and nobility of soul, although deserved, yet are not real, and cannot be depended upon in time of adversity.”

“I don't want expensive gifts; I don't want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.”

“Friend, our closeness is this: anywhere you put your foot, feel me in the firmness under you.”
