#franz kafka

[doitforadamparrish]

when kafka said ‘you wouldn’t believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it’ and when brontë said ‘if you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your slave’ and when Sartre said ‘if I’ve got to suffer it may as well be at your hands’

I have a postcard of Franz Kafka over my desk and everytime I feel like a failure I look at him and tell myself that he felt like this too...

highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective.

I know what Franz Kafka saw

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
