Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka (c. 1883-1924)

“[T]he world puts great obstacles in one’s way, the higher one aims the greater the obstacles, and it is no disgrace to enlist the help of a man whose influence may be small, but who is struggling like you.”

  • From The Castle (chapter 3) by Franz Kafka. The translation used here is by John R. Williams (Wordsworth Editions, 2009).
