Franz Kafka - Aforismos

Written in the historical town of Zurau.

"There are two mortal sins of humanity, from which all others derive: impatience and negligence. It was because of impatience that men were expelled from Paradise, and it is because of negligence that they do not return. But perhaps there is only one mortal sin: impatience. It was because of impatience that men were expelled, and it is because of impatience that they do not return."
