Franz Kafka

"You do not need to leave your room... Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet." -- Franz Kafka

I am reading a new book called The Artist's Rule, by Christine Valters Paintner. It is about connecting contemplation with creativity. This is where I found this quote from Kafka, as well as the quote at the top of my home page.
