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)

    What avail all your scholarly accomplishments and learning, compared with wisdom and manhood? To omit his other behavior, see what a work this comparatively unread and unlettered man wrote within six weeks. Where is our professor of belles-lettres, or of logic and rhetoric, who can write so well?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
