The Metamorphosis (Franz Kafka)

Quotes from The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka:

• I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.
• Calm —indeed the calmest— reflection might be better than the most confused decisions
• I only fear danger where I want to fear it.
• A man might find for a moment that he was unable to work, but that's exactly the right time to remember his past accomplishments and to consider that later on, when the obstacles has been removed, he's bound to work all the harder and more efficiently.
• What a fate: to be condemned to work for a firm where the slightest negligence at once gave rise to the gravest suspicion!
