Karl Kraus

Karl Kraus
Nothing is more horrible than my self in the mirror of hysteria. Nothing is more vulgar than my style in the hands of another. Toimitate me is to punish me.
Karl Kraus
Art is something that is so perfectly clear that no one comprehends it.
Karl Kraus
Democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's slave.
Karl Kraus
The streets of Vienna are paved with culture, the streets of other cities with asphalt.
