It is silly to appeal to people's moral sense.

My Luftwaffe is invincible... And so now we turn to England. How long will this one last - two, three weeks?

I joined the party because I was a revolutionary, not because of any ideological nonsense.

I live the life of the last Renaissance man.

There is hardly any politically minded man who acknowledges and agrees with every point of the program of a political party.

To me there are two Hitlers: one who existed until the end of the French war; the other begins with the Russian campaign. In the beginning he was genial and pleasant. He would have extraordinary willpower and unheard-of influence on people. The important thing to remember is that the first Hitler, the man who I knew until the end of the French war, had much charm and goodwill. He was always frank. The second Hitler, who existed from the beginning of the Russian campaign until his suicide, was always suspicious, easily upset, and tense. He was distrustful to an extreme degree.

Hitler used to come to my house once in a while for a cup of coffee, and because I led a normal life, he would leave at about 9 p.m. ... However, Hitler used to spend practically all of his nights, sometimes until four a.m., with Goebbels. ... God knows what evil influence Goebbels had on him during those long visits.
