Replikskifte

"Do you know Germany?"

"It is not possible to know Germany. Only to endure it."

"Bach? Isn't he reasonably endurable?"

"I do not judge countries by their geniuses. I judge them by their racial characteristics. The ancient Greeks could laugh at themselves. The Romans could not. That is why France is a civilized society and Spain is not. That is why I forgive the Jews and the Anglo-Saxons their countless vices. And why I should thank God, if I believed in God, that I have no German blood."
