Een kooi ging eens een vogel zoeken: Aforismen

The Zürau Aphorisms feel so personal and thought-provoking—I'm curious about what motivated Kafka to share these specific reflections and how they fit into his broader philosophy.

Some of these sayings struck a chord while others felt distant or difficult—I'm wondering how others interpret the tone and relevance of these reflections today.

Kafka's stories often explore alienation and absurdity—do these aphorisms deepen that understanding or offer a different perspective on his worldview?
