The diaries

Cait🪼

Absolutely fascinating to see the inner workings of Kafka’s mind. Without a doubt, the descriptions of the people he observes (both those known and unknown to him) were the most interesting passages. I’ll always feel a little strange reading someone’s diary though…

These diaries cover the years 1910 to 1923, the year before Kafka’s death at the age of forty. They provide a penetrating look into life in Prague and into Kafka’s accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped and the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast. They offer an account of a life of almost unbearable intensity.

wow he’s literally me 

so many quotes but here are some of my faves:

“my condition is not unhappiness, but is also not happiness, not indifference, not weakness, not fatigue, not another interest - so what is it then?”

“being alone has a power over me that never fails. my interior dissolves (for the time being only superficially) and is ready to release what lies deeper.”

“it is enough that the arrows fit exactly in the wounds that they have made”

“the tremendous world i have in my head. but how free myself and free it without being torn to pieces…”
