"Of course every critic is a failed artist, bitterly transforming his
resentment and disaffection into superfluous analytical bitchiness.
Those who can, do, and those who can't, write criticism. We all know it,
just as we know that welfare mothers are lazy and blondes are dumb."

"Hitler was eighteen years old when, in 1908, he moved from Linz and
took up residence in Vienna. He walked the same streets as Freud,
Gustav Mahler, and Egon Schiele, but he did so as one of the city's
faceless, teeming poor. He often slept in a squalid homeless shelter,
if not under a bridge. Intent on becoming an artist, he twice failed the
art academy's admission test; his drawing skills were declared "unsatisfactory."
A thin, sallow youth, he wasn't cut out for physical labor. With help from a
friend, he earned a meagre living drawing postcard views of Vienna and
selling them to tourists. Jews were among his companions and patrons.
Although he was fanatically pan-German - caught up in visions of an
expanded Germany, which would incorporate Austria - he had laudatory
things to say about Jews at the time. He proved, however, an apt pupil
of the city's rampant strains of anti-Semitism, which exploited popular
resentment of the wealthy Jewish bourgeoisie that had arisen under
Franz Josef I, the conservative but clement - and, effectively, the last -
Hapsburg emperor. Hitler studied the spellbinding oratorical style of the
city's widely beloved populist, anti-Semitic mayor, Karl Lueger."
