Thomas Mann híres idézetei
Thomas Mann Idézetek az emberekről
Ez az, amit szeretnétek? Ez a ti vágyatokat is kifejezi? Úgy hiszem. Elegetek van a halálból, a rombolásból, a káoszból, mégha korábban titokban talán vágytatok is rá. Rendet akartok és életet, egy új életrendet, bármilyen nehezen és sötéten is alakulnak majd a következő évek. /Rádióbeszéd, 1945. január 14./
Később pedig így folytatja: „De az istenért! Mit is jelent ez a változásokkal, főleg a lelkiekkel, szemben, melyek ilyen eseményekből szükségszerűen következnek. Hát nem kell az embernek hálásnak lennie a teljesen váratlanért, hogy ilyen nagy dolgokat megélhet? /Levél Heinrich Mann-nak/
