Franz Kafka Quotes

They were offered the choice between becoming kings or the couriers of kings. The way children would, they all wanted to be couriers.

They would like to put an end to this miserable life of theirs but they dare not because of their oaths of service.

Franz Kafka

A terrible crisis unquestionably has arisen in the Church. In the ministry of evangelical churches are to be found hosts of those who reject the gospel of Christ.
