Benjamin Carter Hett
“The crisis and deadlock of 1932 and early 1933, to which Hitler appeared as the only solution, was manufactured by a political right wing that wanted to exclude more than half the population from political representation and refused even the mildest compromise.”
Benjamin Carter Hett, The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic

Don DeLillo
“You don't know the connection? You don't know that every privilege in your life and every thought in your mind depends on the ability of the two great powers to hang a threat over the planet?”
Don DeLillo, Underworld

Ulysses S. Grant
“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
Ulysses S. Grant

Milton Sanford Mayer
“Now I see a little better how Nazism overcame Germany—not by attack from without or by subversion from within, but with a whoop and a holler. It was what most Germans wanted—or, under pressure of combined reality and illusion, came to want. They wanted it; they got it; and they liked it. I came back home a little afraid for my country, afraid of what it might want, and get, and like, under pressure of combined reality and illusion.”
Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45

Elizabeth Gonzalez James
“If I owned Hell and Texas,” Peter said, fanning himself against the heat and squinting in the unrelenting sunlight, “I’d rent Texas and live in Hell. We’re still south of the Nueces, aren’t we? This paradise is what the Texans won in the war? If you ask me, the Texans ought to fight Mexico again and force them to take it back.”
Elizabeth Gonzalez James, The Bullet Swallower
