Everything is what you make of it, even yourself.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
I'm so despondent about everything. Everything I try goes totally wrong. There's no escape from this hole here. I feel drained. So far, I still haven't found a real purpose in life. Sometimes, I'm afraid to get out of bed in the morning. There's nothing to get up for.
Joseph Goebbels

The night folds her trembling hands over a weary world. Out of a pale blue rises the shining moon. My thoughts are flying to the stars like lonely swans.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
...the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
He who cannot hate the devil cannot love God.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
Today there seems to be only one absolute thing: relativism.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
The experience of the individual has become the experience of the people, thanks solely to the camera.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
Christ cannot possibly have been a Jew. I don't have to prove that scientifically. It's a fact.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
Crisis is the path to happiness. Decay and disintegration do not spell doom, but ascent and beginning. The powerful forces of a new creation operate in the hush beyond the noise of the day.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
Revolutions are spiritual acts. They appear first in people, then in politics and the economy. New people form new structures. The transformation we want is first of all spiritual that will necessarily change the way things are.
