Kraus

Famous quotes containing the word kraus:

    How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.

    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)

    If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
