I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little.

The worst part about reading Kafka is when I put the book down but those feelings don't disappear. Cause that's just life.

We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, but also because we have not yet eaten of the Tree of Life.

-Franz Kafka

I love Honkai star rail because I know nothing about it other than the fact that one of the characters is named Kafka. They really said here’s a character named after a depressed 1900s Czech author and she’s a hot girl with big tits.

Franz Kafka, 1912

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible. 

Carl Jung, “Memories, Dreams, Reflections”

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.

Franz Kafka

“Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

― Franz Kafka

When Munir Niazi said 'muhabbat ab nahi hogi & Jaun asked 'Aik hi shakhs tha jahan mein kia? & Mehdi Hsn sang 'Muhabbat karne wale kam na honge' & Faiz said 'Aur bhi dukh hain zamanay mein muhabbat k siwa' and when my heart kept going through all these phases w/o finding peace.

"Daughter, how do you feel about me? Am I a good mother?"

"I would have been happy to have you as a friend, a boss, an uncle, a grandfather, even indeed (though rather more hesitantly) as a father- in- law. It is only as a father that you were too strong for me."

-Franz Kafka

“Do not waste your time looking for an obstacle - maybe there is none.”

— Franz Kafka

“Logic is no doubt unshakable, but it can't withstand a person who wants to live.”
