To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing. - Dorothy Thompson

For Adolf Hitler's first hatred was not Communism, but Austria-Hungary. Read ‘Mein Kampf.’ And he loathed it for what? For its tolerance! He wanted eighty million Germans to rule with an iron hand an empire of eighty million ‘inferiors’ — Czechs, Slovaks, Magyars, Jews, Serbs, Poles and Croats.

A Frenchman who is in close touch with the situation at home told me this week, ‘We would have Fascism in France already if Germany and Italy had not done it first.’

...no people ever recognize their dictator in advance. He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument [of] the Incorporated National Will... When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys and he will stand for everything traditionally American.
