Joseph Goebbels
Image
Once more a red fire blows steeply upwards...the factory will do no more work for Herr Churchill...tomorrow morning Coventry will lie in smoke and ruins.
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

Hypocrisy is the characteristic feature of the dying bourgeois epoch.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
When you stroll through Munich it can happen that you suddenly stand in front of an old house, an idyllically-dreaming church that smiles like a friendly anachronism into our modern time.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
The fatherland shall one day be like this: We're not all equal, but we're all brothers.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash, whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
He who cannot hate the devil cannot love God.
