None will improve your lot If you yourself do not.

Recently my fingers have developed a prejudice against comparatives. They all follow this pattern: a squirrel is smaller than a tree; a bird is more musical than a tree. Each of us is the strongest one in his or her own skin. Characteristics should take off their hats to one another, instead of spitting in each other's faces.

Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral.

One can describe the world of today to the people of today only if one describes it as capable of alteration.

First the pork chops, then morality

Those who take the most from the table, teach contentment. Those for whom the taxes are destined, demand sacrifice. Those who eat their fill, speak to the hungry, of wonderful times to come. Those who lead the country into the abyss, call ruling difficult, for ordinary folk.

One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
