"How is the world ruled and how do wars start? Diplomats tell lies to journalists and then believe what they read" — Karl Kraus

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes

The world is governed by opinion

A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden
