The lie is the invisibility cloak of a cowardly person.

— Ernst Reinhold Hauschka (1926–2012), Bibliothekar, Lyriker und Aphoristiker

Ernst Reinhold Hauschka

Ernst Reinhold Hauschka (1926–2012) war ein deutscher Bibliotheksdirektor, Lyriker und Aphoristiker mit römisch-katholischer Prägung, der vor allem in Bayern wirkte. Bekanntheit erlangte er als produktiver Autor pointierter Sinnsprüche über ethische Grundfragen, Sprache und zwischenmenschliche Schwächen im Geiste eines christlichen Humanismus. Bibellesern begegnet er heute vor allem durch seine kurzen Gedankenanstöße, die biblische Themen und Alltagsbeobachtungen in prägnante Impulse fassen.
