Franz Kafka Quotes, Evil Quotes, Deception Quotes

Everything is deception: seeking the minimum of illusion, keeping within the ordinary limitations, seeking the maximum.

In the second case one cheats the Good by keeping as aloof from it as possible, and the Evil by hoping to make it powerless through intensifying it to the utmost.
