Quote image featuring a quotation by Heinrich Böll

Heinrich Theodor Böll (1917–1985) was a German writer from Cologne. As a narrator of postwar German literature, he depicted urban destruction, the hunger and hardship of survivors, and the homecoming and disillusionment of returning soldiers. His well-known short stories include “Wanderer, kommst du nach Spa…,” “The Bread of Our Early Years,” and “Dr. Murke’s Collected Silences.”

They follow a slogan which was given to them, to act against their own countrymen, rather than the real enemies of their country." Napoleon Bonaparte

Quote by Oswald Spengler describing the German Republic as a company focusing on parties over peopleCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Out of fear for their share of the spoils, the German Republic was born in the grand ducal velvet armchairs and in the pubs of Weimar, not as a form of government, but as a COMPANY. Its statutes do not mention the PEOPLE, but PARTIES; not power, honor, and greatness, but PARTIES.

And these parties – once again: not sections of the people, but commercial enterprises with a paid bureaucracy, which were to American parties what a junk shop is to a department store – decided to give the ENEMY everything he wanted, to sign every demand, to awaken in him the courage to make ever greater demands, just so that they could pursue their own goals internally." Oswald Spengler
