Franz Kafka
“If I didn't have my parents to think about I'd have given in my notice a long time ago, I'd have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything I would, let him know just what I feel. He'd fall right off his desk! And it's a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk, talking down at your subordinates from up there, especially when you have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing.”
― Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis

بسام حجار
“قُربي جافٌ وضواحي قلبي موحشةٌ كهواءِ صفصاف، فارحلوا إذا كان الرحيل لايزال ممكناً.
شُفيتُ من حبّي لكم، وشُفيتُ من اليوم الذي يعود كلّ يوم. لم أترك أثراً، لذلك لن تهتدوا إليّ. محوتُ، وأنا أمشي، الطريقَ، وخطواتي ليست أبقى من نزواتٍ عابرة. لم أترك أثراً. شُفيتُ من خوفكم عليّ ومن خوفي عليكم وبتُّ الآن وحدي.

ارحلوا إذا كان الرحيل لايزال ممكناً. خذوا معكم أبيضَ الجدران وصمت النزهةِ في الرّواق. خذوا زوّار الضجّر والرغبات الكفيفة وفضّة الضحكِ الزائفة.
شُفيتُ من حبكم. أستطيع الآن أن أحيا. أن أجمع شمل العزلاتِ التي بددتموها وأسكنتم ظلالكم فيها.

أحببتُ. أحببتُ وكنتُ لا أعرفَ طريقَ النجاة، وكانت طريقُ النجاةِ بقربي فأخطأتها وأخذني القطار وحين عدت كانت يدُك وحدها وكنت وحدي وكنّا معاً، يدُك وخوفي من النجاة.”
― بسام حجار, سوف تحيا من بعدي

Franz Kafka
“But sleep? On a night like this? What an idea! Just think of how many thoughts a blanket smothers while one lies alone in bed, and how many unhappy dreams it keeps warm.”
― Franz Kafka

Jorge Luis Borges
“The three of them knew it. She was Kafka’s mistress. Kafka had dreamt her. The three of them knew it. He was Kafka’s friend. Kafka had dreamt him. The three of them knew it. The woman said to the friend, Tonight I want you to have me. The three of them knew it. The man replied: If we sin, Kafka will stop dreaming us. One of them knew it. There was no longer anyone on earth. Kafka said to himself Now the two of them have gone, I’m left alone. I’ll stop dreaming myself.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

Franz Kafka
“Self-control is something for which I do not strive. Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.”
― Franz Kafka
