“Well, there are all sorts of formulas in junior high school math: Pythagoras’s theorem, the quadratic equation, that sort of thing … Memorizing formulas enables you to solve a whole variety of problems. If, however, you memorize a formula wrongly to start with, you’ll end up getting things wrong over and over again. That can happen, can’t it? … Make sure to get your students to memorize all the formulas correctly.”

“[A] religious text has depth. The reader of Kafka's texts, however, can feel no such confidence in even the partial recuperation of deeper meaning. As Adorno notes, it is characteristic of Kafka's texts that "words, [and] metaphors in particular, detach themselves and achieve a certain autonomy." The experience of reading Kafka in this sense is the very opposite to theological interpretation: it defeats the religious hope that one might pierce the surface of these autonomous words to reach a level of ultimate meaning. Not without cause does Adorno call Kafka "the parabolist of impenetrability".”
