Heinrich Boll

For me, at least, much of the German I see and hear sounds stranger than Swedish, a language of which I unfortunately understand very little.

I long for the time of no more departures. It has something to do with age, probably.

We must learn, and especially we Germans, that resistance is not only possible and allowed in dictatorships. There is resistance that man must perform every day.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

If I had to resign every time the Cabinet disagrees with me, I could not last as a Defense Minister one week.
