If we have power, we'll never give it up again unless we're carried out of our offices as corpses

Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.

There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph.

Good propaganda does not need to lie, indeed it may not lie. It has no reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people in a way that they will be able to understand. A propaganda that lies proves that it has a bad cause. It cannot be successful in the long run.

We can do without butter, but, despite all our love of peace, not without arms. One cannot shoot with butter, but with guns.

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.

If you tell a lie, tell a big one.
