Anyone who moves about without work or a job, without being able to prove that he has the means to support himself or is looking for an opportunity to do so, must be imprisoned for at least six weeks or made to do forced labour for up to six months. After the punishment is over, foreigners are to be expelled from the country and nationals to be taken to a corrections facility.

I had to give up my habitualiation and I was forced to leave the hospital because my contract ended and they didn’t want to renew it. I was not employed at any other hospital.

If this [economic] shock approach were adopted, I believe that it should be announced publicly in great detail, to take effect at a very close date. The more fully the public is informed, the more will its reac­tions facilitate the adjustment.

Yes, my sin — my greater sin and even my greatest sin is that I nationalised Iran’s oil industry and discarded the system of political and economic exploitation by the world’s greatest empire. This at a cost to myself, my family; and at the risk of losing my life, my honour and my property. With God’s blessing and the will of the people, I fought this savage and dreadful system of international espionage and colonialism.

One must not forget that anti-Semitism is particularly strongly represented in Muslim cultures.

The idea of a good and normalized Germany is opposed to a reality in which people still have to fear that the police will pass on their addresses to Nazis, that weapons are hoarded and that explosives will simply disappear from the stocks of the Bundeswehr. And the anticipation of gratitude for the (not only) Jewish reconciliation obscures the fact that the German history of violence is not over because one side wants it to be. But that it continues to create life-threatening realities in new formations and perpetuate injustice. In the face of this situation, the equation of memory and reconciliation must be called for what it is: an expression of the needs of a section of this society which is ashamed of its actions and wishes this unpleasant story to be resolved very soon. The hope contained therein for normalization from the national anthem to home is part of this wishful thinking. That may be understandable, it may also be politically opportune – but it does not apply to all people who live in this country. And who are heartbroken about what has been done to them and their families. And it will stay that way.

This blue-eyed hag was hither brought with child and here was left by th’ sailors. Thou, my slave, as thou report’st thyself, wast then her servant. And, for thou wast a spirit too delicate to act her earthy and abhorred commands, refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee, by help of her more potent ministers and in her most unmitigable rage, into a cloven pine, within which rift imprisoned thou didst painfully remain a dozen years; within which space she died and left thee there, where thou didst vent thy groans as fast as mill wheels strike.

Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; notwithstanding, his cruelty reconciled the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty (…) Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with.

If the judge has to individualise everywhere else, i.e. first investigate and get to know the peculiarities of the subject to be treated and then determine the course to pursue, the initiate can generalise on the nature of XXX without any danger.

Whereas our ancestors (not of choice) were the first successful cultivators of the wilds of America, we their descendants feel ourselves entitled to participate in the blessings of her luxuriant soil… We will never separate ourselves voluntarily from the slave population of this country; they are our brethren by the ties of consanguinity, of suffering and of wrong.

The violation of human rights, the system of institutionalised brutality, the drastic control and suppression of every form of meaningful dissent is discussed (and often condemned) as a phenomenon only indirectly linked, or indeed entirely unrelated, to the classical unrestrained “free market” policies that have been enforced by the military junta, (…) this particularly convenient concept of a social system, in which “economic freedom” and political terror coexist without touching each other, allows these financial spokesmen to support their concept of “freedom” while exercising their verbal muscles in defence of human rights.

The greatest difficulty with our boys is to overcome their innate aversion to work. You have to know that they are the children of born beggars.

Immediately after my arrival in India, on the first island I discovered, I forcibly seized some of its inhabitants so that they would learn and inform me about what existed in these regions. And so they soon understood us, and we them, through language or signs, and they were very useful. I still have them with me and they are sure that I came from heaven.

I am German and I do not want to accept that our beautiful Germany, our freedom and even our humanity goes to the dogs. And she will go to the dogs if we don’t drive this gang that holds the state in its claws and torments the people to the devil. When the government locks the people up. Then the people must lock up the government.

And of course the approach was to say, now let’s do multiculturalism and live side by side. This approach has failed, absolutely failed!

Because they are by nature slaves, barbarians, crude and cruel beings, they rejected the rule of the wise, powerful and noble, rather than accepting it for their own good as a principle derived from natural justice, according to which the physical body should be subjected to an expression of the soul, desire to reason, irrational animals to rational man; which is to say that the imperfect should be subjected to the perfect, the inferior to the superior.

Today’s cultures no longer correspond to the old ideas of closed and uniform national cultures. (…) Cultures are deeply intertwined and permeate each other. Ways of life no longer end at the borders of national cultures, but transcend them and can also be found in other cultures. The new entanglements are a consequence of migration processes as well as worldwide (im)material communication systems and economic interdependences.

I am angry with the padres, and all of those of the mission, for living here on my land, for trespassing upon the land of my forefathers and despoiling our tribal domains.

In the neighbouring village, they invited twenty women from the mothers’ club to donate food and then told them they wanted to vaccinate them. In reality, this was an anaesthetic, after which they were sterilised.

The Spaniards are not only intended to help alleviate the general shortage of staff: they are above all intended to relieve the many women on whom Swiss Post has had to rely for months. More than half of the 1,700 employees at the main post office – 900 to be exact – are women. Oberpostdirektor Kröpf: “Our work is often so difficult that we shouldn’t actually be harming women. Here now – mainly in the loading service at the station – the Spaniards are supposed to step in.”
