Franz Kafka Quote

The books were oldand well worn, the cover of one of them had nearly broken through in itsmiddle, and it was held together with a few threads. Everything is sodirty here, said K., shaking his head, and before he could pick thebooks up the woman wiped some of the dust off with her apron. K. tookhold of the book that lay on top and threw it open, an indecent pictureappeared. A man and a woman sat naked on a sofa, the base intent ofwhoever drew it was easy to see but he had been so grossly lacking inskill that all that anyone could really make out were the man and thewoman who dominated the picture with their bodies, sitting in overlyupright postures that created a false perspective and made it difficultfor them to approach each other. K. didn't thumb through that book anymore, but just threw open the next one at its title page, it was a novelwith the title, What Grete Suffered from her Husband, Hans. So this isthe sort of law book they study here, said K., this is the sort ofperson sitting in judgement over me.
