41 " Evil is an emanation of human consciousness at certain transitional points. It is not really the physical world that is illusion, but the Evil of it, which to our eyes constitutes, admittedly, the physical world. "
― Franz Kafka , The Zürau Aphorisms
42 " There are questions we could never get past, were it not that we are freed of them by nature. "
43 " A cage went in search of a bird. "
44 " Ένα κλουβί βγήκε να βρει ένα πουλί. "
45 " Evil is sometimes like a tool in your hand, recognized or unrecognized, you are able, if you have the will to do it, to set it aside, without being opposed. "
46 " The bony structure of his own forehead blocks his way; he batters himself bloody against his own forehead. "
47 " There are two cardinal sins from which all others spring: impatience and laziness. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of laziness we cannot return. Perhaps, however, there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out, because of impatience we cannot return. "
48 " Od pewnego punktu nie ma już żadnego odwrotu. Ten punkt należy osiągnąć. "
49 " The seductiveness of this world and the sign that warrants its transitoriness are one and the same. And rightly so, because only in this way can the world seduce us, and accord with the truth. The grievous thing is that after falling victim to the seduction, we forget the warranty, and so the Good has led us into Evil, the woman's smile has led us into bed with her. "
50 " If you were crossing a plain, with the good will to get across, but all the same your steps took you backwards, it would be a matter for despair; but as you are clambering up a steep slope, as steep, say, as you yourself are viewed from below, it could also be that your steps backward are only caused by the nature of the ground, and you do not have to despair. "
51 " If it had been possible to build the Tower of Babel without climbing it, it would have been permitted. "
52 " The true path is along a rope, not a rope suspended way up in the air, but rather only just over the ground. It seems more like a tripwire than a tightrope. "
