"I am a revolutionary, and I will remain one until my dying day."

"The German people are the most stupid people on earth."

"The Jew's speech is a creaking, squeaky, buzzing, snuffling, and hissing sound."

"The Jew, who is in fact the most born enemy of pure humanity, is, in general terms, the born enemy of all that is noble in man. He is the born foe of every pure, noble, and spiritual inspiration."

"The error in the art-genre of opera consists herein, that a Means of expression (Music) has been made the end, while the End of expression (the Drama) has been made a means."
