Primary Evidence
"In Conversations with Kafka, Franz Kafka says: “If one wishes to live, one must believe.” “In what?” “In the significant interrelation of all things and all moments, in the external existence of life as a single whole, in what is nearest and what is farthest.”12"
Source:The Founder's Notes
"Until his removal from the executive presidency of insurer Generali in April 2010, he held a record of longevity at the head of one of Europe's most prosperous financial groups, founded in Trieste in 1831 and which counted writer Franz Kafka among its fleeting employees. An inveterate bridge player, the man is as complex as his career is atypical."
