Quotes from the same author

Speech is the mother, not the handmaid, of thought.
 Karl Kraus
The heroes of obtrusiveness, people with whom no soldier would lie down in the trenches, though he has to submit to being interviewed by them, break into recently abandoned royal castles so that they can report, "We got there first!"
