Nazi Plunder/the Hermann G%C3%B6ring Collection

Famous quotes containing the words nazi, plunder and/or collection:

    Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    True, we’re not great thieves, like the nobles. Our robberies are petty compared to the wholesale plunder of the nation.
    Sonya Levien (1895–1960)

    The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
