Here are some serious, witty, entertaining, inspiring quotes from the world-renowned storyteller Franz Kafka

I feel that I have experienced nothing, learned nothing, that I really know less than the average schoolboy, and that what I do know is superficial, and that every other question is beyond my understanding.

I am incapable of thinking deliberately, my thoughts hit the wall. I can grasp the essence of different things, but I am absolutely incapable of coherent, unbroken thought. I cannot even tell a story properly, in fact I can barely talk.

I write differently than I say, I speak differently than I think, I think differently than I should, and thus it all progresses into deeper darkness.

I have a true sense of myself only when I am unbearably sad.

He is very afraid of dying because he has not yet lived.

The first sign of the beginning of understanding is the desire to die.

I usually solve problems by letting them swallow me up.

I am free and that is why I am lost.

People label themselves with all kinds of adjectives. I can only describe myself as miserable beyond repair.

I never want to be easily defined.

I would rather float in the minds of others as something strictly fluid and imperceptible, like a transparent, paradoxical iridescent creature than as a real person.

I am a cage, looking for a bird.

Paths are made by moving.

Whoever retains the ability to recognize beauty never grows old.

Sleep, awake, sleep, awake, unhappy life.

Don't waste your time looking for an obstacle, for there may be no obstacle.

We live in an age so obsessed with demons that soon we will be able to perceive goodness and justice only in the deepest secret as if it were a crime.

It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.

You need not leave your room. Sit at your desk and listen. Don't even listen, just wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will offer itself freely to you unmolested, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

What if I sleep a little more and forget all this nonsense.

It is only because of their stupidity that they are able to be so sure of themselves.

I no longer know if I want to drown myself in love, vodka or the sea.

Start with what is right, not what is acceptable.

Don't bend, don't weaken it, don't try to rationalize it, don't edit your soul to suit fashion. Rather follow your most intense passions mercilessly.

If you find someone who smiles when they see you, who often checks in to see if you are okay. Who takes care of you and wants the best for you. Who loves you and respects you. Don't let them go. People like that are hard to find.

Everything you love you will eventually lose, but in the end love will come back in a different form.

I can think of no greater happiness than to be with you all the time, endlessly, without interruption, even though I think there is no unbroken place for our love here in this world, neither in the village nor anywhere else. And I dream of a deep and narrow grave, where we can hold each other in our arms as if by clamps and I will hide my face in yours and you will hide yours in mine and no one will ever see us again.
