Quotes
- “Without darkness there would be no concept of light For light to be self aware it must have its opposite—darkness.”
- “The desire for power is the most reliable of emotions.”
- “Even aperson deprived of his own ideas and individuality, at the very moment he gains power, acquires substance and content The function of power is to transform the inner being of the holder of power. Power credit and fame create individuality and a face for a person deprived of these qualities by nature.”

Encyclopedic overview
Lion Feuchtwanger ( German: [ˈliːɔn ˈfɔʏçtˌvaŋɐ] ; 7 July 1884 – 21 December 1958) was a German Jewish novelist and playwright. A prominent figure in the literary world of Weimar Germany, he influenced contemporaries including playwright Bertolt Brecht.
Feuchtwanger's Judaism and fierce criticism of the Nazi Party, years before it assumed power, ensured that he would be a target of government-sponsored persecution after Adolf Hitler's appointment as chancellor of Germany in January 1933. Following a brief period of internment in France and a harrowing escape from continental Europe, he found asylum in the United States, where he died in 1958.
