Notable quotes

“To place Russian communism on the same moral level with Nazi fascism, because both are totalitarian, is, at best, superficial, in the worse case it is fascism. He who insists on this equality may be a democrat; in truth and in his heart, he is already a fascist, and will surely fight fascism with insincerity and appearance, but with complete hatred only communism.”
— Essays, ed. by H.Kurzke, Frankfurt 1986, vol. 2, p. 311
“If Goethe claimed towards the end of his life that every reasonable person is a moderate Liberal, then in our time one must say: Every reasonable person is a moderate Socialist.”
— As quoted in The New York Times (18 June 1950); also in Thomas Mann: A Critical Study (1971) by R. J. Hollingdale, Ch. 2
“I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide.”
— Ch. 5, as translated by David Luke
“It is a cruel atmosphere down there, cruel and ruthless.”
— Hans Castorp on the world outside the sanatorium, in Ch. 5
“Speech is civilization itself. The word, even the most contradictory word, preserves contact — it is silence which isolates.”
— Ch. 6
“O scenes of the beautiful world! Never have you presented yourself to more appreciative eyes.”
— Bk. 2, Ch. 4
