I had repeatedly made written requests to the Fuehrer that I might be allowed to join the Wehrmacht as an ordinary soldier. He refused to give me this permission.

My connection with the Reich Ministers was of a purely official nature and was very infrequent.

Although as a sailor I despised politics - for I loved my sailor's life and still love it today - conditions forced me to take up a definite attitude towards political problems.

I joined the Party definitely in 1923 after having already been in sympathy with it before.

In my Gau, as far as I know, only Communists who had actually worked against the State were arrested.

I had to examine myself very thoroughly to find the right path personally.

One day I heard a speech of Hitler. In this speech he said that the German factory worker and the German labourer must make common cause with the German intellectual worker.

I did that all the more, if I may say so, because I was aware of the fact that there is an inclination to go to extremes in German people, and in the German character generally.

I attended the elementary school at Schweinfurt and the secondary school.

It so happened that I was on a German sailing vessel on the way to Australia when the ship was captured, and on the high seas I was made prisoner by the French.

I became Gauleiter in 1927.

As a cabin boy on a Norwegian sailing ship I earned five kronen a week in addition to my keep.

The controversies between the proletariat and the middle class had to be smoothed out and bridged over by each getting to know and understand the other.

I was never informed in advance about the start of the war or about foreign political developments.

Through the Young Men's Christian Association and principally in Australia and North America, as well as in South America, I came into contact with families of these countries.

As regards personal relationships I cannot say that I had any particularly personal intercourse with anyone.

I was member of the Diet as long as it existed, until May 1933.

As I, as a worker, came to know them, the aims of German trade unions were political, and there were a number of various trade unions with varied political views.

The dissolution of the trade unions was in the air then.

The citizen parties, by an absolute majority, elected a National Socialist Government.

At that time we were very definitely told that under no circumstances should there be any secret chapters or any other secrecy in the life of the Party, but that everything should be done publicly.

I had repeatedly made written requests to the Fuehrer that I might be allowed to join the Wehrmacht as an ordinary soldier. He refused to give me this permission.

I could not have the honour of being a German soldier because of my imprisonment in the First World War. And in this world war the Fuehrer refuses to allow me to serve as a soldier.

Many years before I had left a beautiful country and a rich nation and I returned to that country six years later to find it fundamentally changed and in a state of upheaval, and in great spiritual and material need.

The Diet was dissolved by a Reich Government decree.

When she became very ill with heart trouble, I saw that it would be impossible for my parents to provide for my studies, and I obtained their permission to go to sea to make a career for myself there.

I am very proud of the fact that many workers in my Gau, numerous former Communists and Social Democrats were won over by us and became local group leaders and Party functionaries.

I was elected to the Diet in the same way as at every parliamentary election.

Stories are consoling fiction is one of the consolation prizes for having lived in the world.

And while I might not always agree with the viewpoint I have to portray, because I play a district attorney, as an actress I can always tell myself that my character is trying to take the moral high ground.

You are the master of your own destiny. Use your strengths well. They are the keys to your destiny and your success in life. Once you know yourself and take action to realize your dreams you can unlock the doors to your own potential.

I like everything a certain way. I'm not somebody who can just lay back and let it happen... And I think that's what's gotten me to where I am in life.

All bowling balls look like theyve just received shocking news.

When the game is finished, it's completely finished. I'm with my kids. Sometimes people say to me, 'Oh, did you see the game?' and I say, 'No, I didn't see the game'. I watch if my friends are playing or my brothers. But not always.

The line is a way of framing poetry. All verse is measured by lines. The poetic line immediately announces its difference from everyday speech and prose.

I still think of myself as from Illinois.

'White supremacist' and 'white nationalist' aren't like 'meanypants' - you can't just attach them to people you don't like without any thought to the consequences. The progressive Left has done it to ordinary Americans for decades. The result? President Trump.

To be as good as our fathers we must be better imitation is not discipleship.

If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.

The rule of law should be upheld by all political parties. They should neither advise others to break the law, nor encourage others to do so even when they strongly disagree with the legislation put forward by the government of the day.

One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

I can't age on the inside, and I'm totally okay with that. I have no need to grow up and see myself as mature.

At its best, schooling can be about how to make a life, which is quite different from how to make a living.

For five years I've felt like the best prostitute in a high-class whorehouse. But all the other girls get paid more than I do.

I'm constantly running across people who have never heard of books I think they should read.

There is a stubbornness about me that can never bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

And the annual meetings of the League's Assembly are in effect official peace congresses binding on the participating states to an extent that most statesmen a quarter of a century ago would have regarded as utopian.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

These properties that get made into movies, some are easier than others. When they first said, 'Yeah, they're making a movie out of Lego,' I said, 'Lego what? What does that even mean?' And it's such a good concept.
