Kraus Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words kraus and/or wrote:

    This is something that I cannot get over—that a whole line could be written by half a man, that a work could be built on the quicksand of a character.
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
    Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
    And brought Olympian wisdom down
    To court and mar, to gown and town,
    Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
    The open secret of to-day.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
