Volker G. Fremuth is a novelist whose work explores the fragile architecture of truth, the seduction of power, and the human struggle to remain free in systems designed to shape thought itself.

From reimagined folklore to political mythmaking to philosophical dystopia, his stories trace how societies drift, quietly and inevitably into worlds where obedience feels like virtue and questioning becomes rebellion.

His debut novel, “The Workshop”, took readers inside a world where a beloved cultural myth had hardened into institutional machinery, examining how stories can be weaponized to structure perception.

Quotes by Volker G. Fremuth  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There are four kinds of people in the world: Those who want to profit off others without changing anything. Those who want to profit off others and would try to improve the world in so doing. Those who want to profit off of others and are willing to destroy the world to do so and finally those who don’t care to profit off others and are the inevitable victims of the other three. The trick is to know which one of these people you are.”
― Volker G. Fremuth

“They watch through cameras, listen to phone calls, read e-mail, record conversations; they don’t even need a court order to do it and then they do it under the guise of patriotism.”
― Volker G. Fremuth

“A man’s ability to give is dwarfed by his ability to take. Those who profit by fulfilling man’s need to take by giving will be the most powerful on earth.”
― Volker G. Fremuth, The Workshop

“The people will act on the environment they perceive, not the one that is their reality.”
― Volker G. Fremuth

“A man’s ability to give is dwarfed by his ability to take. Those who profit by fulfilling man’s need to take by giving will be the most powerful on earth.”
― Volker G. Fremuth, The Workshop

“Power is an ill-tempered and treacherous mistress. She corrupts even the incorruptible. If you value your freedoms you will have to bind her and keep her from your lands and leaders, because she will seize their minds and seduce their consciences until they give in to her insatiable appetite.”
― Volker G. Fremuth

“We are merely a pawn in a chess game played by the nations of the world. Should we not be a bigger, more important piece in the game? Are we not all capable of playing the part of the king or queen?”
― Volker G. Fremuth

“Why is the public so blindly self-destructive? So willing to enslave itself for a free trinket or empty promise?”
― Volker G. Fremuth
