Quotes by Peter Kurth (?)

“spectacle of Dorothy Thompson at Madison Square Garden — tall, fair, blue-eyed, and laughing in her evening gown at twenty-two thousand “little men” — was not a thing to be forgotten.”
― Peter Kurth, American Cassandra: The Life of Dorothy Thompson

“I really was put out of Germany for the crime of blasphemy... My offense was to think that Hitler is just an ordinary man,”
― Peter Kurth, American Cassandra: The Life of Dorothy Thompson

“If the world is going to be regarded as a continual hunting, fishing and fighting expedition,” said Dorothy, “— if it is to be regarded in terms of the primitive male activities — then it will go on as it has gone on, with booms, depressions, and wars... It’s going to be Caesars and World Wars throughout a long future,”
― Peter Kurth, American Cassandra: The Life of Dorothy Thompson
