»If there was no Vicco von Bülow, i.e. Loriot – ›Oh … yes‹ – he would have to be invented. You all know him from films, radio and television: ›fa-bu-lous‹. The fact that he has been refusing to appear in the circus ring in his own very personal way and live in one way or another, well, who can hold it against him? If Diogenes now releases Loriot's Collected Prose, 750 pages thick, on a market already overflowing with books, then you must buy it and more importantly read it! ›Ter-ri-fic‹!«
