"German youth, do not forget that you are a German," and "Remember, little girl, that one day you must be a German mother." ******************************* (3.) I had come to understand the distinction between dynastic patriotism and nationa lism based on the concept of folk, or people, my inclination being entirely in f avour of the latter. ******************************* (4.) To study history means to search for and discover the forces that are the causes of those results which appear before our eyes as historical events. The art of reading and studying consists in remembering the essentials and forgetting what is not essential. ******************************* (5.) Obstacles are placed across our path in life, not to be boggled at but to be sur mounted. And I was fully determined to surmount these obstacles, having the pict ure of my father constantly before my mind, who had raised himself by his own ef forts to the position of a civil servant though he was the poor son of a village shoemaker. ******************************* (6.) That hunger was the faithful guardian which never left me but took part in every thing I did. Every book that I bought meant renewed hunger, and every visit I pa id to the opera meant the intrusion of that inalienabl companion during the foll owing days. I was always struggling with my unsympathic friend. And yet during t hat time I learned more than I had ever learned before. Outside my architectural studies and rare visits to the opera, for which I had to deny myself food, I ha d no other pleasure in life except my books. ******************************* (7.) An attempt to study it in any other way will result only in superficial talk and sentimental delusions. Both are harmful. The first because it can never go to t he root of the question, the second because it evades the question entirely. ******************************** (8.)

During my struggle for existence in Vienna I perceived very clearly that the aim of all social activity must never be merely charitable relief, which is ridicul ous and useless, but it must rather be a means to find a way of eliminating the fundamental deficiencies in our economic and cultural life--deficiencies which n ecessarily bring about the degradation of the individual or at least lead him to wards such degradation. ******************************** (11.) The question of 'nationalizing' a people is first and foremost one of establishi ng healthy social conditions which will furnish the grounds that are necessary f

or the education of the individual. For only when family upbringing and school e ducation have inculcated in the individual a knowledge of the cultural and econo mic and, above all, the political greatness of his own country--then, and then o nly, will it be possible for him to feel proud of being a citizen of such a coun try. I can fight only for something that I love. I can love only what I respect. And in order to respect a thing I must at least have some knowledge of it. ********************************* (12.) Reading is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. Its chief purpose is to help towards filling in the framework which is made up of the talents and capabi lities that each individual possesses. Thus each one procures for himself the im plements and materials necessary for the fulfilment of his calling in life, no m atter whether this be the elementary task of earning one's daily bread or a call ing that responds to higher human aspirations. Such is the first purpose of read ing. And the second purpose is to give a general knowledge of the world in which we live. In both cases, however, the material which one has acquired through re ading must not be stored up in the memory on a plan that corresponds to the succ essive chapters of the book; but each little piece of knowledge thus gained must be treated as if it were a little stone to be inserted into a mosaic, so that i t finds its proper place among all the other pieces and particles that help to f orm a general world-picture in the brain of the reader. Otherwise only a confuse d jumble of chaotic notions will result from all this reading. *********************************** (13.)The difficulty of employing every means, even the most drastic, to eradicat e the hostility prevailing among the working classes towards the State is largel y due to an attitude of uncertainty in deciding upon the inner motives and cause s of this contemporary phenomenon. ************************************ (14.)When the individual is no longer burdened with his own consciousness of bla me in this regard, then and only then will he have that inner tranquillity and o uter force to cut off drastically and ruthlessly all the parasite growth and roo t out the weeds. ******************************* (15.)the authority of the law, because that was a means of holding down the prol etariat; religion, as a means of doping the people, so as to exploit them afterwards; morality, as a badge of stu pid and sheepish docility.
