Franz Kafka

---

"Ich wiederhole: es lockte mich nicht, nachzuahmen; ich ahmte nach, weil ich einen Ausweg suchte; aus keinem anderen Grund."

"I say it again: I felt no temptation to imitate human beings. I imitated them only because I was looking for a way out, and for no other reason."

— Franz Kafka, A Report to an Academy

I never wish to be easily defined. I would rather float above other people's minds as something strictly fluid and imperceptible — closer to a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature than to an actual person.

— Franz Kafka (attributed; diary, 23 March 1914)
