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"

"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.
