When asked if there was some hope... Kafka responded:
"Plenty of
hope--for God--no end of hope--only not for us."

Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
perhaps the
most influential of 20th-century
writers.
Birthplace Prague, Czech Republic "I am separated from all things by a hollow space, and I do not even reach to its boundaries. ...Everything appears to me construed. I am cashing after constructions. I enter a room, and I find them in a corner, a white tangle. ...There is nothing but a spiritual world. What we call the sensory world is the evil in the spiritual world, and what we call evil is only a necessity of a moment in our eternal development." |
"One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled
dreams,
he found himself transformed in his bed
into a horrible vermin."
Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
Kafka's THE METAMORPHOSIS

"Our art is a dazzled blindness before the truth: The light on the grotesque recoiling mask is true, but nothing else."
