Franz Kafka Ifs Quotations

If I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?

If this is what you came for, then I didn't send for you. Kafka (note to himself in journal)

It would have been so pointless to kill himself that, even if he had wanted to, the pointlessness would have made him unable.

This inescapable duty to observe oneself: if someone else is observing me, naturally I have to observe myself too; if none observe me, I have to observe myself all the closer.

There are questions we could not get past if we were not set free from them by our very nature.

If something good has lost its way into you, it will make its escape overnight. I know you.

If you become involved with me, you will be throwing yourself into the abyss.

One must fight to get to the top, especially if one starts at the bottom.
