“One stands painfully pinned against the wall, fearfully lowers one’s eyes to see the hand that pins and with a new pain that makes one forget the old, recognizes one’s own crooked hand, which holds you with a strength it never had for good work. One raises one’s head, again feels the first pain, again lowers one’s eyes and this up and down never ceases.”
― Franz Kafka, The Diaries of Franz Kafka

“To be sure, the deeper one digs one’s pit, the quieter it becomes; the less anxious one becomes, the quieter it becomes.”
― Franz Kafka, The Diaries of Franz Kafka

“There are possibilities for me, certainly, but under what stone do they lie?”
― Franz Kafka, The Diaries of Franz Kafka
