Notable quotes

“Long live Germany. Long live Argentina. Long live Austria. These are the three countries with which I have been most connected and which I will not forget. I greet my wife, my family and my friends. I am ready. We'll meet again soon, as is the fate of all men. I die believing in God.”
— Adolf Eichmann, before his execution in Jerusalem (1 June 1962), as quoted in Becoming Eichmann: Rethinking the Life, Crimes, and Trial of a "Desk Murderer" by David Cesarani (2006), p. 321
“Is the Austrian government pursuing some sort of ‘enlightenment from above’ at the expense of a free and open inquiry? Do Austrian taxpayers need an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’ to present them with a selection of trustworthy media reports and a public list of heretics, dissenters, and scapegoats?”
— Forum for Religious Freedom-Europe (FOREF) and Human Rights Without Frontiers (Brussels), "AUSTRIA: Federal Office of Sect Issues Targets COVID-19 Dissenters. An Orwellian “Ministry of Truth”?" (October 7, 2020)
“Austria's two achievements were to have persuaded the world that Hitler was German and that Beethoven was Viennese.”
— Christopher Hitchens, "The 2,000-Year-Old Panic", The Atlantic (March 2008)
“The situation is serious but not hopeless.”
— Alfred Polgar, as documented by the Viennese Kraus Archive; translation quoted by Gilbert Carr, "'Hopeless but not serious'", letter to The Irish Times (20 August 2019); see Situation Hopeless... But Not Serious (1965)
“I was born in Vienna, I grew up in Vienna, I went to school in Vienna, I graduated in Vienna, I studied in Vienna, I started my career in Vienna, I did theatre for the first time in Vienna, I did film for the first time in Vienna. There are also a few other Viennese details... But how much more Austrian can you get?”
— Christoph Waltz, as quoted in "'Austrians have humour, Germans not so much'" (28 February 2013), The Local
“I'm not German, I'm Austrian and Austrians have a wonderful sense of humour, Germans, not so much.”
