The signs as Kafka quotes
“I will not let myself become tired. I’ll jump into my story even though it should cut my face to pieces.”
“Once I enjoy a person, that joy knows no bounds.”
“One has either to take people as they are, or leave them as they are. One cannot change them, one can merely disturb their balance. A human being, after all, is not made up of single pieces, from which a single piece can be taken out and replaced by something else.”
“I usually solve problems by letting them devour me.”
“I am strangely tired, not from having talked so much but at the mere thought of what I still have to say.”
“Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.”
“I am a very unhappy human being and you, dearest, simply had to be summoned to create an equilibrium for all this misery.”
“I can never tear myself open wide enough to people to reveal everything and so frighten them away.”
“I cannot rid myself of the feeling that I’m not in the right place.”
“Should I be grateful or should I curse the fact that despite all misfortune I can still feel love, an unearthly love but still for earthly objects.”
“Being alone has a power over me that never fails. My interior dissolves and is ready to release what lies deeper.”
“I do not see the world at all; I invent it.”
