Quote by Karl Kraus (1874-1936)

• What torture, this life in society! Often someone is obliging enough to offer me a light, and in order to oblige him I have to fish a cigarette out of my pocket.

• Solitude would be ideal if you could pick the people to avoid.

• Psychoanalysis is that mental illnes for which it regards itself a therapy.

• Chastity always takes its toll. In some it produces pimples; in others, sex laws.

• The world is a prison in which solitary confinement is preferable.

• Sexual enlightenment is justified insofar as girls cannot learn too soon how children do not come into the world.
