The world is a prison in which solitary confinement is preferable. - Karl Kraus

War is at first, the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that the other fellow isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.

Sexuality poorly repressed unsettles some families; well repressed, it unsettles the whole world.

I would have stage-fright if I had to speak with every one of the people before whom I speak.
