Karl Kraus
"El guardian de la moral se afana en tapar con pomadas y ungüentos las pústulas morales y el cuerpo social empieza a supurar por dentro. La persecución de las desviaciones sexuales favorece el chantaje; cada nuevo intento de cercar la vida privada con una empalizada de artículos provocará nuevas inmoralidades y nuevos delitos."

"Insights into erotic life belong to art, not education. But sometimes these have to be spelled out for the illiterates. And it is mainly a matter of convincing the illiterates, for they are the ones who write the penal code."

Psychoanalysis: a rabbit that was swallowed by a boa constrictor just wanted to see what it was like in there.

"A healthy man is content with a woman. An erotic man is content with a stocking to get to a woman. A sick man is content with the stocking."

Nationalism is the love which ties me to the blockheads of my country, to the insultors of my way of life, and to the desecrators of my language.
-----------------------
I have often been asked to be fair and view a matter from all sides. I did so, hoping that something might improve if I viewed all sides of it. But the result was the same. So I went back to viewing things only from one side, which saves me a lot of work and disappointment. For it is comforting to regard something as bad and to be able to use one's prejudice as an excuse.

I have always seen Kraus as the Mark Twain of Europe... Thanks AT for reminding me on this, well, Domingo Rojo?
Here is some Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
"The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creatures that cannot."
"The very ink in which history is written is merely fluid prejudice."
"There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!"
(Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835-1910)
Well I think that's enough punishment for today...
HASTA MAÑANA BABY!
Mano, creo que Kraus -en tiempo y lengua larga y acida- es mas cercano a Menken que a Twain.
"Los criticos de Arte de Miami"son mas Acidos y lengua larga que el pobre Kraus
Anonimo, olvidate de los criticos de arte de Miami. Supera eso ya.
Buen post, AT, consistente con los domingos rojos, o son los sabados?
1,2,3... que paso
Anonimo,
Coincido con AT y JR, you have a problem.
AT, mencione a Twain, como Americano y casi contemporaneo de la epoca de Kraus, pero en si tienes razon.
Henry Louis Mencken (September 12, 1880 – January 29, 1956), better known as H. L. Mencken, was a twentieth century journalist, satirist and social critic, a cynic and a freethinker, known as the "Sage of Baltimore" and the "American Nietzsche". He is often regarded as one of the most influential American writers of the early 20th century. At one point in his career he was America's favorite pundit and literary critic at the same time.
Mi gente: ¡Este blog está de altura! Kraus, si crítico de Freud, pues un ser más iluminado. Que como dijo una vez una feminista sobre Segismundo: Si el subconsciente lo hubiera articulado una mujer, sería otra cosa... Y no sólo eso: la misoginia pura elevada a ciencia. ¡Horror! En cuanto a Kraus, no deja de impactarme el vocabulario que utiliza: "pústulas morales", "supuraciones",
"desviaciones sexuales", "nuevas inmoralidades". ¡Hmmm! ¡Qué tétricas y podridísimas imágenes! Se vé que vivió y escribió mucho antes del political correctness. Pronunciarse de esa manera hoy lo pondría a la siniestra de Ratzinger o del mismo Pat Robertson.
Ileana
Hola Ileana,
Try these out!
Mas Kraus que lo que pica un pollo!
"I am not for women but against men."
----------
"Moral responsibility is what is lacking in a man when he demands it of a woman."
-----------
"How unreliable is the woman caught being faithful! Today she is faithful to you, tomorrow to another."
------------
"I like to hold a monologue with women. But a dialogue with myself is more stimulating."
WOW! Tremendo feminista, no crees?
Ja! Ja!
As for Anonimo, artista frustrado, here is one for you by Kraus,
"Artists have a right to be modest and a duty to be vain"
