Quotes by Walter Mehring (?)

“Ja, es erweist sich, dass gerade die Reformatoren, die Weltumstürzler, die geborenen Führernaturen, gerade jene, die erst mal alle zeitgenössischen Druckerzeugnisse zensieren, verbieten, verbrennen lassen, von Lektüre durch und durch vergiftet sind, dass sie sich am vulgärsten Fusel eines Drako, Jean Bodin, Hobbes usw. ihren Fanatismus angelesen haben und im Katzenjammer ihre mörderischen Beglückungen verüben.”
― Walter Mehring, The Lost Library: The Autobiography of a Culture

“Denn ohne Religion, ohne theologische Bindung kann die Literatur das Göttliche umschreiben schaffen, nicht aber ohne die diabolische Beschreibung der menschlichen Leidenschaften und den umenschlichen Schicksals. Ohne das Himmelreich, ohne Phantasie und Schönheit kann ein politische Regime regieren, nicht aber ohne die Verhängung von Höllenstrafen, nicht ohne einen „Teufel in Menschengestalt“ (Jude, Nigger, Kulturbolschewist, Trotzkist)…”
