“I don't cry. Water doesn't leave my head. I've got loads of gob. That's how water leaves me, it's not out of my eyes.”

"We Could Have Been Sweethearts (You Could Have Been Lonely)" from Spin of the Wheel (1990)
Context: So hold my hand, I'm going down fast,
And if I return, I'll never more be blue
It's not the leaving of all I love that makes me cry
But my darling, when I think of you.

A response to the Nazi book burnings, in "To Posterity" (1939) as translated by H. R. Hays (1947)
Context: Do not treat me in this fashion. Don't leave me out. Have I not
Always spoken the truth in my books? And now
You treat me like a liar! I order you:
Burn me!
Those who lead the country into the abyss
Call ruling too difficult
For ordinary men.
Ah, what an age it is
When to speak of trees is almost a crime
For it is a kind of silence about injustice!
