The Basic Kafka Quotes

“And I leave my post of observation and find I have had enough of this outside life; I feel that there is nothing more that I can learn here, either now or at any time. And I long to say a last goodbye to everything up here, to go down into my burrow never to return again, let things take their course, and not try to retard them with my profitless vigils.”
― Franz Kafka, The Basic Kafka

“Das Buch ist die Axt für das gefrorene Meer in uns.”
― Franz Kafka, The Basic Kafka
