Joseph Goebbels

“A Jew is for me an object of disgust. I feel like vomiting when I see one.”

“There was no point in seeking to convert the intellectuals. For intellectuals would never be converted and would anyway always yield to the stronger, and this will always be the man in the street.”

“The truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

“We enter the Reichstag in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons.”

“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”

“To be a socialist is to submit the I to the thou; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole.”

“We have made the Reich by propaganda.”

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”

“A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.”

“This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.”

“The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it.”

“Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.”

“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas in disguise.”

“It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.”

“The war we are fighting today is a war of ideologies, a war for the content of the coming centuries.”
