Franz Kafka idézet

Franz Kafka német nyelven alkotó csehországi születésű zsidó író, a 20. századi irodalom egyik legkiemelkedőbb alakja. Műveiben az irodalmi realizmus és a fantasztikum keveredik, műveinek tipikus szereplője az elszigetelt ember, aki bizarr vagy szürreális helyzetekbe jut, érinthetetlen bürokratikus hatalmakkal kerül szembe. Kafka az elidegenedés, a félelem, a bűntudat és az abszurditás témáit vizsgálja. Legismertebb művei Az átváltozás, A per és A kastély. A kafkai kifejezés a műveiben gyakran előforduló abszurd, szürreális szituációkhoz hasonló helyzetekre használatos.Kafka középosztálybeli, németül beszélő zsidó családba született a Cseh Királyság fővárosában, Prágában, amely akkor az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia része volt. Jogásznak készült, tanulmányait követően egy biztosítónál helyezkedett el, az írással szabadidejében foglalkozott. Élete során levelek százait írta családjának és közeli barátainak. Édesapjával feszült és formális kapcsolata volt. Több nőt is eljegyzett, de sosem házasodott meg. 1924-ben gümőkórban hunyt el, mindössze 40 évesen.

Életében kevés műve jelent meg: csak a Szemlélődés és az Egy falusi orvos című novellagyűjteményei, illetve külön történetek jelentek meg irodalmi lapokban, például Az átváltozás, de nem arattak komolyabb sikert. Befejezetlen műveit, mint A per, A kastély, az Amerika, barátjának Max Brodnak meg kellett volna semmisítenie Kafka kérésére. Brod azonban nem tette ezt, hanem gondoskodott arról, hogy kiadják a műveket. Kafka írói munkássága a 20. század íróinak, kritikusainak, művészeinek és filozófusainak széles körére hatott.

“I am not well. I could have built the Pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling on to life and reason.”

Franz Kafka könyv Letters to Felice

Forrás: Letters to Felice (Dopisy Felici)

“I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.”

Változat: What I write is different from what I say, what I say is different from what I think, what I think is different from what I ought to think and so it goes further into the deepest darkness.

“It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.”

Franz Kafka: A Biography (1960)

“The Messiah will come only when he is no longer necessary”

Franz Kafka könyv Parables and Paradoxes

Variant translation: The Messiah will come only when he is no longer necessary; he will come only on the day after his arrival; he will come, not on the last day, but at the very last.
Parables and Paradoxes (1946)
Kontextus: The Messiah will come only when he is no longer necessary; he will come only on the day after his arrival; he will come, not on the last day, but on the very last day.

“It is entirely conceivable that life’s splendour forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off.”

(18 October 1921)
The Diaries of Franz Kafka 1910-1923 (1948)
Kontextus: Eternal childhood. Life calls again.
It is entirely conceivable that life’s splendour forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come. This is the essence of magic, which does not create but summons.

“We are as forlorn as children lost in the woods. When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours?”

Letter to Oskar Pollak (8 November 1903); cited from Briefe, 1902-1924 (1958) edited by [Max Brod]], p. 27<!-- New York: Schocken --> ; translation from Franz Kafka, Representative Man (1991) by Frederick R. Karl, p. 98 <!-- New York: Ticknor & Fields -->
Kontextus: We are as forlorn as children lost in the woods. When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours? And if I were to cast myself down before you and weep and tell you, what more would you know about me than you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful? For that reason alone we human beings ought to stand before one another as reverently, as reflectively, as lovingly, as we would before the entrance to Hell.

“The ulterior motives with which you absorb and assimilate Evil are not your own but those of Evil.”

Franz Kafka könyv The Zürau Aphorisms

29
The Zürau Aphorisms (1917 - 1918)
Kontextus: The ulterior motives with which you absorb and assimilate Evil are not your own but those of Evil.
The animal wrests the whip from its master and whips itself in order to become master, not knowing that this is only a fantasy produced by a new knot in the master’s whiplash.

“If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come. This is the essence of magic, which does not create but summons.”

“Evil is a radiation of the human consciousness in certain transitional positions.”

Franz Kafka könyv The Zürau Aphorisms

85
The Zürau Aphorisms (1917 - 1918)
Kontextus: Evil is a radiation of the human consciousness in certain transitional positions. It is not actually the sensual world that is a mere appearance; what is so is the evil of it, which, admittedly, is what constitutes the sensual world in our eyes.

“The way is infinitely long, nothing of it can be subtracted, nothing can be added, and yet everyone applies his own childish yardstick to it.”

Franz Kafka könyv The Zürau Aphorisms

39
The Zürau Aphorisms (1917 - 1918)
Kontextus: The way is infinitely long, nothing of it can be subtracted, nothing can be added, and yet everyone applies his own childish yardstick to it. “Certainly, this yard of the way you still have to go, too, and it will be accounted unto you.”

“The mediation by the serpent was necessary: Evil can seduce man, but cannot become man.”

The Zürau Aphorisms (1917 - 1918)

“I make of my reproach and laughter a drumbeat sounding in the world beyond.”

(July 1910)
The Diaries of Franz Kafka 1910-1923 (1948)
Kontextus: I can prove at any time that my education tried to make another person out of me than the one I became. It is for the harm, therefore, that my educators could have done me in accordance with their intentions that I reproach them; I demand from their hands the person I now am, and since they cannot give him to me, I make of my reproach and laughter a drumbeat sounding in the world beyond.

“What an obstacle had suddenly arisen to block K.'s career!”

Franz Kafka könyv The Trial

Forrás: The Trial (1920), Ch. 7
Kontextus: What an obstacle had suddenly arisen to block K.'s career! And this was the moment when he was supposed to work for the bank? He looked down at his desk. This the time to interview clients and negotiate with them? While his case was unfolding itself, while up in the attics the Court officials were poring over the charge papers, was he to devote his attention to the affairs of the bank? It looked like a kind of torture sanctioned by the Court, arising from his case and concomitant with it.
