“The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths — they haven’t any.”
“I even feel it my duty, to tell the Germans for once what they have on their conscience. Every great crime against culture for the last four centuries lies on their conscience.”
“This people has deliberately made itself stupid, for nearly a millennium: nowhere have the two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity, been abused more dissolutely.”
“Wherever Germany spreads it ruins culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche
