Takes One To Know One
June 12th, 2009
I’m currently reading Inside the Third Reich, by Albert Speer, Hitler’s friend, architect and Minister of Armaments and War Production.
Like all books of any worthwhile insight, it’s best lines are equally applicable to situations removed from those specifically drawn upon by the author.
Like this one:
“In the euphoria of history-making activity, unpleasant facts were ignored; they were no more than obstacles to the achievement of the grand design.”
Hmm, seems about right. And then there’s this one:
“Hitler usually concluded this historical speculation by remarking: ‘You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion… The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”
I’m just sayin’…
