“This is the secret of propaganda:
He, who is the target of propaganda,
should be completely immersed in the ideas of propaganda,
without him ever noticing, that he is being immersed.
Das ist das Geheimnis der Propaganda:
Den, den die Propaganda fassen will,
ganz mit den Ideen der Propaganda zu durchtränken,
ohne dass er überhaupt merkt, dass er durchtränkt wird.”

“The Jew is immunized against all dangers: One may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Jew and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I’ve been found out".”

“the more a man belongs to posterity, in other words, to humanity in general, the more of an alien he is to his contemporaries; since his work is not meant for them as such, but only for them in so far as they form part of mankind at large; there is none of that familiar local color about his productions which would appeal to them; and so what he does, fails of recognition because it is strange.”

“In young people it is a bad sign from an intellectual and moral perspective, if they find their way quite early in human affairs, are at once at home in them, and join in them as if prepared; this indicates commonness. In contrast, disconcerted, perplexed, awkward, and wrong behaviour points to a nobler kind of nature.”
