"There's truth even in tainted knowledge, if one reads carefully."

-- N.K. Jemisin

“And another question was unfortunately not asked of GÃ¶ring: 'The German people put faith in you even if they doubted Hitler because you were gentlemanly and more likable. What did you, GÃ¶ring, do to justify this confidence? You have led a luxurious life and collected stolen art.”
“Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.”
“In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.”
“Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies.”
“Negroid traits, dark skin, flat, thick nose.”
