Germany Quotes - Page 9

• National Socialist Germany wishes for peace because it recognises the simple fact that no war would be likely to substantially to ameliorate the state of distress in Europe.  The distress would probably be made the greater thereby. If only the leaders and rulers had wanted peace, the people would never have wished for war.

• I hope that the outside world will realise that Hitler's government has no idea of steering towards war, even though this has often been asserted abroad.  As Adolf Hitler himself has said, Germany has no need of another war to avenge the loss of her military honour, because she never lost that honour.  Germany does not want war of any kind.  Germany wants real and abiding peace.

• In reality, at the end of World War II, America imposed democracy at the point of a bayonet on Japan and Germany, and it has proved a resounding success in both countries. The problem with liberals is that they never give bayonets a chance.

• Why did Erich von Stronheim leave Germany? Why did Hitchcock leave England? If you were a director you'd like to work in Hollywood too. Now go ahead and ask me if I'm still Polish.

• Aunque la salchicha frankfurt es originaria de Fráncfort (Alemania), hace tiempo que la hicimos nuestra, un pilar gemelo de la democracia junto con la tarta de manzana de mamá. De hecho, ahora que la tarta de manzana de mamá viene congelada y horneada por alguien que no es mamá, el perrito caliente se mantiene solo. Lo que simboliza sigue siendo puro, aunque lo que contiene no lo sea.

• In Germany, many other countries, college tuition is free. Why isn`t free in America? Why do we have the highest rate of childhood poverty when other countries have rates much lower than we have? Why don`t we have pay equity for women workers? Why aren`t we leading the world in transforming our energy system in terms of climate change? We can do that. Are we dumb? Are we lazy? Not the case.

• [Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial:] Ya estamos acostumbrados a los escombros, que limpian religiosa e infatigablemente. ¡Qué determinación para volver a la cima!

• Filmmaking materials are in the hands of more people now than ever before. I would like to think that the more people have these tools, the more people will learn how to use them, it's another argument I would argue for, personally, for art's education. Because there are kids who aren't that literate in screen language and they've got to know how people select shots, how people edit audio, how people combine things to make what they see on the screen. It would be like the 15th century or the 16th century in Germany, and somebody amends a printing press and you don't know how to read and write.

• As far as I know, the question of whether and how it could be strategically or morally justified was never the subject of open debate in Germany after 1945, no doubt mainly because a nation which had murdered and worked to death millions of people in its camps could hardly call on the victorious powers to explain the military and political logic that dictated the destruction of the German cities.
