If people say that here and there someone has been taken away and maltreated, I can only reply: You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

Above all, I shall see to it that the enemy will not be able to drop any bombs.

I considered the attacks on London useless, and I told the Fuhrer again and again that inasmuch as I knew the English people as well as I did my own people, I could never force them to their knees by attacking London. We might be able to subdue the Dutch people by such measures but not the British.

Whenever I hear the word culture, I reach for my revolver

Naturally the common people don't want war. . . but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along. . .

I live the life of the last Renaissance man.
