Franz Kafka
"Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self."
— Franz Kafka
"I really dig [Franz Kafka] a lot. Some of his things are the most thrilling combos of words I have ever read. If Kafka wrote a crime picture, I’d be there. I’d like to direct that for sure."
— David Lynch

Follow Your Curiosity"It's always about execution. If I told you that I was going to write a story about a man who wakes up and finds he has turned into a beetle, there's a good chance you'd think it was a stupid idea. But Kafka has the power to make that not only a good story, but one that's actually shaped the way we think about short stories. ... Part of the answer is something about conviction, something about summoning the authority."
