“The soul can only blossom forth to its sublime and rare capacities when it feels it is being met with faith.”
Max Brod, Franz Kafka: A Biography
tags: kafka

“...over and over, you would like to be recognized according to your own self, your own person, your own heart's inclination-but they always ask only what you have done, and really, if you look at it rationally, they have nothing else by which they can judge your state of mind except the manifestations of that state of mind.”
Max Brod, Franz Kafka: A Biography
tags: kafka

“Kafka’yla yaptığım bir konuşmayı hatırlıyorum, çıkış noktamız bugünkü Avrupa ve insanlığın çöküşüydü. ‘Bizler,’ demişti Kafka ‘Tanrının zihnine üşüşen nihilist düşünceler, intihar fikirleriyiz.’ Bu bana önce Gnostik dünya görüşünü hatırlattı: Kötü bir demiurg olarak tanrı, dünyaysa onun düşüşü. ‘Hayır.’ dedi Kafka ‘bizim dünyamız Tanrının kötü bir ruh haline, kötü bir gününe rastlamış.’ ‘Öyleyse bu bildiğimiz dünya dışında umut olabilir mi?’ diye sordum. Gülümsedi: ‘Elbette yeterince var hatta sonsuz umut var ama bizim için değil.”
Max Brod
