Franz Kafka Quotes About Wall

Quotes about: Wall

• I have no memory for things I have learned, nor things I have read, nor things experienced or heard, neither for people nor events; I feel that I have experienced nothing, learned nothing, that I actually know less than the average schoolboy, and that what I do know is superficial, and that every second question is beyond me.

I can't even tell a story properly; in fact, I can scarcely talk.

• Everyone carries a room about inside him. This fact can even be proved by means of the sense of hearing.
