Human judgment of human actions is true and void , that is to say, first true and then void.... The judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void.... Only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. Hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it.
Franz KafkaIf it had been possible to build the Tower of Babel without climbing it, it would have been permitted.
Franz KafkaThe experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter, in mind and as mind, in emotion, as emotion, etc.
Franz KafkaSometimes I think I can expiate all my past and future sins through the aching of my bones.
Franz Kafka
