Famous quotes containing the words german and/or jews:

    “A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.”
    —José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    “No doubt Jews are most obnoxious creatures. Any competent historian or psychoanalyst can bring a mass of incontrovertible evidence to prove that it would have been better for the world if the Jews had never existed. But I, as an Irishman, can, with patriotic relish, demonstrate the same of the English. Also of the Irish.... We all live in glass houses. Is it wise to throw stones at the Jews? Is it wise to throw stones at all?”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
