Propaganda must not concern itself with what is best in man - the highest goals humanity sets for itself, its noblest and most precious feelings. Propaganda does not aim to elevate man, but to make him serve. It must therefore utilize the most common feelings, the most widespread ideas, the crudest patterns, and in so doing place itself on a very low level with regard to what it wants man to do and to what end. Hate, hunger, and pride make better levers of propaganda than do love or impartiality.

The Holy Spirit alone can do this, the Holy Spirit alone can establish this link with one's neighbor.

The individual who is the servant of technique must be completely unconscious of himself.

Thinking has become a superfluous exercise... purely internal, without compelling force, more or less a game.

Fate operates when people give up

When there is propaganda, we are no longer able to evaluate certain questions, or even to discuss them

No one knows where we are going, the aim of life has been forgotten, the end has been left behind. Man has set out at tremendous speed- to go nowhere.
