Walter Ulbricht

Hitler is still such a popular man we are afraid of the Hitler myth. We want to give to the German people and to the world the final proof by means of the Supreme Court-Martial and its verdict.
Walther von Brauchitsch
Image
There's a difference between a Nazi and a German.
Samuel Fuller

I had old bunk beds that my dad got from Seabrook Farms. They were first used by German prisoners during World War II, who were sent to work the farms during the war. The metal beds with their thin mattresses could easily be used as a jungle gym and I loved them.

We were living with Bernard [Leach] in his home. He had a fantastic collection of early English and Japanese and Chinese and Korean pots and German pots, contemporary English work as well. And we had access to this collection.

On Russia, I can only repeat what the president [Barack Obama] said. This is all about respecting certain principles, and I'm saying this from a European vantage point, from a European, from a German vantage point, sorry, the fact that for over 70 years we have been able to enjoy peace.
Angela Merkel
Image
I can't just go up to people standing in the snow at the German-Austrian border and ask them: Are you an Islamist? When people flee to us from war zones, we first have to help. But we also have to be quick to look very closely at who it is that is coming.
Alice Schwarzer
Image
The German language is the organ among the languages.
Jean Paul
Image
The tribunal here and your American newspapers talk so much about our sharp Nazi methods, but do you realize that within the past year, since the defeat of Germany, 1 million Germans have been evicted from what was originally German territory and which has now been given to Poland? No League of Nations or other body intervened.
Alfred Rosenberg
Image
Our German Fatherland to which I hope will be granted... to become in the future as closely united, as powerful, and as authoritative as once the Roman world-empire was, and that, just as in the old times they said, Civis romanus sum, hereafter, at some time in the future, they will say, I am a German citizen.
Wilhelm II
Image
I believe German soldiers are good and decent, and if they did anything wrong it was because of military necessity.
Wilhelm Keitel
Image
The German Reich is a Republic, and whoever doesn't believe it gets one in the neck.
Alfred Doblin

Occasionally I would like the German people to give us the benefit of the doubt, given our history, as opposed to assuming the worst -- assuming that we have been consistently your strong partners and that we share a common set of values.
Barack Obama

Of course, there's always one theater that shows some kind of European film. Now, fortunately, you have DVDs, so it's possible to get anything you want within a few hours. In those days, it was virtually impossible to get Italian films, or German films, or whatever. So I grew up with very standard, mainstream films.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Why do people speak of great men in terms of nationality? Great Germans, great Englishmen? Goethe always protested against being called a German poet. Great men are simply men and are not to be considered from the point of view of nationality, nor should the environment in which they were brought up be taken into account.
Albert Einstein

On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity.
Albert Einstein
Image
The Imperial German Government will not expect the Government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the performance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!
Albert Einstein
Image
Einstein was attending a music salon in Germany before the second world war, with the violinist S. Suzuki. Two Japanese women played a German piece of music and a woman in the audience exclaimed: How wonderful! It sounds so German! Einstein responded: Madam, people are all the same.
