Karl Kraus
Many desire to kill me, and many wish to spend an hour chatting with me. The law protects me from the former.
Karl Kraus
Immortality is the only thing which doesn't tolerate being postponed.
Karl Kraus
Where do I find the time for not reading so many books?
Karl Kraus
I and my public understand each other very well: it does not hear what I say, and I don't say what it wants to hear.
Karl Kraus
An aphorism is never exactly true it is either a half-truth or one-and-a-half truths.
