A good stylist should have narcissistic enjoyment as he works. He must be able to objectivize his work to such an extent that he catches himself feeling envious and has to jog his memory to find that he is himself the creator. In short, he must display that highest degree of objectivity which the world calls vanity.

Karl Kraus was born in 1874, in Jičín, in the then Austro-Hungarian Empire. His work is marked by a profound skepticism towards the society, politics, and culture of his time. He was a relentless critic of the press, war, and bourgeois hypocrisy, using an aphoristic style and corrosive humor. In addition to essays and articles, he wrote plays and poems. His influence extended to various areas, inspiring avant-garde movements and later thinkers. He died in Vienna in 1936.
