Das war ein Vorspiel nur; dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen."

(Almansor)

Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man's freedom.

Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.

The men of action are, after all only the unconscious instruments of the men of thought

I have never seen an ass who talked like a human being, but I have met many human beings who talked like asses.

Where words leave off, music begins.
