Quote by Franz Kafka
We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowle

We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, but also because we have not yet eaten of the Tree of Life. The state in which we are is sinful, irrespective of guilt. – Franz Kafka

Other quotes by Franz Kafka
