The Trial
For a man under suspicion movement is better than rest, for the man who is at rest can always, without knowing it, be on the scales being weighed together with his sins.

The Trial
Whatever he may seem to us, he is yet a servant of the Law; that is, he belongs to the Law and as such is set beyond human judgment.

The Trial
No,' said the priest, 'we must not accept everything is true, we must only accept it is necessary.''A dismal thought,' said K., 'it makes untruth into a universal principle."

The Trial
The only thing I can do now," he said to himself, and his thought was confirmed by the equal length of his own steps with the steps of the two others, "the only thing I cando now is keep my common sense and do what's needed right till the end. I always wanted to go at the world and try and do too much, and even to do it for something that was not too cheap. That was wrong of me. Should I now show them I learned nothing from facing trial for a year? ShouldI go out like someone stupid? Should I let anyone say, after I'm gone, that at the start of the proceedings I wanted to end them, and that now that they've ended I want to start them again? I don't want anyone to say that. I'm grateful they sent these unspeaking, uncomprehending men to go with me on this journey, and that it's been left up to me to say what's necessary

The Trial
Lo raro es que, cuando uno se despierta por la mañana, por lo menos en líneas generales vuelve a encontrar las cosas en el mismo estado en que estaban por la noche. Sin embargo, durante el sueño uno se ha encontrado, por lo menos en apariencia, en un estado esencialmente distinto de la vigilia y hace falta una infinita presencia de ánimo, o mejor dicho, de presteza para cogerlo todo, al abrir los ojos, por así decir en el mismo punto en que uno lo había dejado la noche anterior.

How are we to avoid those in office becoming deeply corrupt when everything is devoid of meaning?

The Trial
Look at this, Willem, he admits he doesn't know the law and at the same time insists he's innocent.
book-quote
Franz Kafka
_
The Trial
He accepted it as a fundamental principle for an accused man to be always forearmed, never to let himself be caught napping, never to let his eyes stray unthinkingly to the right when his judge was looming up on the left--to the right when his judge was looming up on the left--and against that very principle he kept offending again and again.
book-quote

The Trial
It's characteristic of this judicial system that a man is condemned not only when he's innocent but also in ignorance.
