The Kafka heart.

1. Treat the heart in the drawing as a symbol of life itself, as our main living organ, without which, nothing would be possible.

2. You know how some of the best things said about life don't need to be long? Kafka makes simple in just three lines:

My grandfather used to say: “Life is astonishingly short. Now, in my memory, it is so compressed that I can hardly understand, for example, how a young person can decide to ride to the next village without being afraid that—apart from accidents—even the time allotted to a normal, happy life is far too short for such a journey.” Franz Kafka, 1919
