Karl Kraus

Karl Kraus
The agitator seizes the word. The artist is seized by it.
Karl Kraus
A man's eroticism is a woman's sexuality.
Karl Kraus
Language is the mother of thought, not its handmaiden.
Karl Kraus
Many talents preserve their precociousness right into old age.
Karl Kraus
There are women who are not beautiful but only look that way.
Karl Kraus

Karl Kraus
