"I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…
Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!" (Charlie Chaplin)

"Zusammenhalt heißt füreinander aufzustehen
Und auch die Schwachen lässt man nicht einfach liegen
Wenn ich dich ansehe, weiß ich dass ich ein Sieger bin
Egal ob wir gewinnen oder die allerletzten sind
Denn wenn verlieren heißt, neben dir im Dreck zu stehen
Und wenn es heißt, den ganzen Weg noch einmal mit dir zu gehen
Wenn Verlieren heißt, mit dir zu fallen und wieder aufzustehen
Kann ich verlieren und mich wie ein Sieger fühlen"
(Christian Eschweiler)

"We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are."

J.K. Rowling

„Who wants to be right as rain, it's better when something is wrong.
You get excitement in your bones and everything you do is a game.
When night comes and you're on your own you can say I chose to be alone.
Who wants to be right as rain, it's harder when you're on top.
Cause when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired,
There ain't no room in my bed, as far as I'm concerned.
So wipe that dirty smile off, We
won't be making up, I've cried my heart out
and now I've had enough of love.“
(Adele Laurie Blue Adkins)

„Don't talk to me if you ain't got the answers I need
Yeah I've got problems
Can't you see I'm trying to solve them?“
(Dropkick Murphys)

„If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your
Feet tonight
Wherever I am you'll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive.“
(Flogging Molly)

„It could be a bit lonely at my side.“
„It has always been lonely at your side, but I wouldnt want to sit anywhere else.“

"Do you think I've gone mad?"
"I'm afraid so... You're entirely bonkers, off your head! But I'll tell you a secret: all of the best people are."
