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.

Man is and remains an animal.Here a beast of prey, there a housepet, but always an animal.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth
Joseph Goebbels

Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
Short shrift is made of the Jews in all eastern occupied areas. Tens of thousands of them are liquidated.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
The fatherland shall one day be like this: We're not all equal, but we're all brothers.
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
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

Devotion, fervor, longing! Those are my pillars. We have to be the bridge to the future.
