Art of Wisdom
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka
“It's not really life that's unbearable, it's people.”
“To close out is to open in. You want peace? Less stuff, less people.”
“Tell me who made you so sad, the ones you chose or the ones you gave up?”
“Two lessons life has taught me: narrow your circle, don't let unnecessary crowds upset you.”
“I'm fine with it not happening. Just don't pretend it's happening.”
“Doing everything you can and leaving places you can't make beautiful doesn't make you a bad person.”
“My loneliness is full of people.”
“Everyone had a suicide dream. I chose to love you.”
“Some people are both healers and destroyers. They try to fix everyone as best they can, but in the end they have no power to heal themselves.”
“Value must be recognized when it is due.”
“By passionately believing in something that doesn't yet exist, we create it. What doesn't exist is what we don't desire enough.”
“The worst thing is to belong to what you can't have.”
“Doing everything you can and leaving places you can't make beautiful doesn't make you a bad person, Milena.”
“He who doesn't understand your silence probably doesn't understand your words.”
“Silence is the expression of strength. It is the law of opposites. So be calm. Calmness, silence makes one free, even on the gallows.”
“The people around you can affect your happiness, success and peace of mind. So choose the people around you well. Good choices pay off.”
“The effect you had on me was the effect you couldn't bear to have on yourself.”
“Those who retain the ability to see beauty never grow old.”
“Don't waste time looking for an obstacle! Maybe there is no obstacle.”
“They can speak so confidently only because they are stupid.”
“One fool is one fool. Two fools are two fools. Ten thousand fools are one political party.”
