PEQUEÑO HOMENAJE A KARL KRAUS ("DIE FACKEL"; 11-04-2023)

 

An aphorism can never be the whole truth; it is either a half-truth or a truth-and-a-half.

Die Fackel no. 270/71 (19 January 1909)

War: first, one hopes to win; then one expects the enemy to lose; then, one is satisfied that the enemy too is suffering; in the end, one is surprised that everyone has lost.

Die Fackel no. 46 (9 October 1917)

Science is spectral analysis. Art is light synthesis.

When I read, it is not acted literature; but what I write is written acting.

Hate must make a person productive; otherwise one might as well love.

The development of technology will leave only one problem: the infirmity of human nature.

Lord, forgive them, for they know what they do!
