- Satire chooses and knows no objects. It arises by fleeing from them and their forcing themselves upon it.
- One shouldn’t always name names. What should be said is not that someone has done it, but that it was possible to do it.
- Through my satire I make little people so big that afterwards they are worthy objects of my satire and no one can reproach me any longer.
- If someone calls me vain and mean, I know that he trusts me and has something to confess to me.
- From a torch something drops occasionally. A little lump of pitch.
- A pun, though despicable in itself, can be the noblest vehicle of an artistic intention by serving as the abbreviation of a witty view. It can be social criticism in the form of an epigram.
- Satires which the censor understands are rightly prohibited.
