Additional quotes by Baldur von Schirach

To us Germans everything is religion. What we do we do not merely with our hands and brains, but with our hearts and souls. This has often become a tragic fate for us.

Faust, the Ninth Symphony, and the will of Adolf Hitler are eternal youth and know neither time nor transience.

That is the greatest thing about him. That he is not only our leader and a great hero. But himself, upright, firm and simple. In him the roots of our world. And his soul touches the stars. And yet he remains a man like you and me.

Power is what spoils people. Yes, it seems to me that the seeking after power is the great danger and the great corruptor of mankind. - Baldur von Schirach
