More quotes by Karl Kraus
A poem is good until one knows by whom it is.
Karl Kraus

Karl Kraus
The tyranny of necessity grants its slaves three kinds of freedom: opinion free from intellect, entertainment free from art, and orgies free from love.
Karl Kraus

Karl Kraus

Karl Kraus
Medicine: Your money and your life!
Karl Kraus
The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original.
Karl Kraus
The blind won't admit that I have eyes in my head, and the deaf say that I'm dumb.
Karl Kraus
Psychoanalysis: a rabbit that was swallowed by a boa constrictor just wanted to see what it was like in there.
Karl Kraus
That an author takes a bow is not humility but presumption. What does the paleface want on the stage afterwards? But before the performance he had even less business there--and paying him royalties is equivalent to cheating the actors.
Karl Kraus
Ask your neighbor only about things you know better yourself. Then his advice could prove valuable.
Karl Kraus
