Quotes

  • Regret is something for little children.
  • It was actually an achievement that was never matched before or since.
  • Adolf Hitler may have been wrong all down the line, but one thing is beyond dispute: the man was able to work his way up from lance corporal in the German Army to Führer of a people of almost 80 million. … His success alone proved that I should subordinate myself to this man.
  • My political sentiments inclined toward the left and emphasized the socialist aspects every bit as much as the nationalist ones.
