"There are times when I am convinced..." - Quote by Franz Kafka

“I made the remark that I don't avoid people in order to live quietly, but rather in order to be able to die quietly.”

“As far as I have seen, at school...they aimed at blotting out one's individuality.”

“A lawyer is a person who writes a 10,000-word document and calls it a "brief."”

“There is a kind of love, the excess of which forbids jealousy.”

“Try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. While you see it your way, there's a chance that we might fall apart before too long. We can work it out. W e can work it out.”

“Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always take you by surprise, and me never.”

“Let's meet as little as we can”

“What can become of him if he is in such bondage to the habit of satisfying the innumerable desires he has created for himself? He is isolated, and what concern has he with the rest of humanity? They have succeeded in accumulating a greater mass of objects, but the joy in the world has grown less.”

“Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came human beings; they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate--for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.”
