A book is worth a few francs; we Germans can afford to destroy those. We all may not appreciate artistic merit, but cash value is another matter.
Paul Scofield

A few weeks ago we were reminded that other peoples - in particular the United States of America - fought so that we Germans could live in liberty. That we should never forget.
Horst Koehler

A jacket commemorating the Germans as champions of the 1990 World Cup is out of date two weeks after the event has passed.
Thomas Harrison

A people that has experienced all that the Germans have been through, naturally offers fertile soil for the extremists.
Gustav Stresemann

After a Polish Pope, whose country was first to be invaded by the Germans in World War Two, we now have someone from the generation drafted at the close of the war.
Horst Koehler

All the children had to wear a gas mask in case of a gas attack by the Germans. They tried to make the masks like Mickey Mouse faces so the children would like them. But I didn't. They had big ears on them.
Gerald Scarfe

As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic.
Pete Townshend

At that moment of realization I knew that I had been blind because I had wished not to see; it was only then that I realised, at last, that all these dead men, French and Germans, were brothers, and I was the brother of them all.
Ernst Toller

But as a German - and I am German-born - we Germans are condemned once again to be radical revisionists.
Ernst Zundel

But do you know, I shall not be sorry to die. I shall be glad, Monsieur. And why glad, you ask? Because I love France and hate the Germans who have put this war on us.
Philip Gibbs

Each had defended his own country; the Germans Germany, the Frenchmen France; they had done their duty.
Ernst Toller

For if the Germans do not help defend the West, American and Canadian troops must cross the seas to do the job, and I venture to believe that the troops - if not the statesmen - regard this as an interference at least in their own domestic affairs.
Arthur H. Sulzberger

Further, not only the United States, but the French, British, Germans and the United Nations all thought Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction before the United States intervened.
Jim Gerlach

Germans make nice cars.
Jason Behr

Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State.
Heinrich Himmler

I defy anyone - and I have said this to the Germans - to build a solid, articulated, and viable Europe without France's consent.
Pierre Laval

I know what Germans are. They are a funny people. They are always choosing someone to lead them in a direction which they do not want to go.
Gertrude Stein

I think that we must come together progressively, with the British, the Germans, the Spanish, the Italians and with the new members of the European Union, we must make an effort to forge closer links.
Jean-Pierre Raffarin

It is nonsense to say that Germans are unable to change.
Angela Merkel

It was essential to do this job, hateful though it was, because we knew the Germans were hot on the trail.
Mark Oliphant
