"When the nations on this planet fight for existence-when the question of destiny ,'to be or not to be', cries out for a solution - then all considerations of humanitarianism or aesthetics crumble into nothingness; for all these concepts do not float about the ether, they arise from man's imagination and are bound up with man. When he departs from this world, these concepts are again dissolved into nothingness, for Nature does not know them. And even among mankind, they belong only to a few nations or rather races, and this in proportion as they emanate from the feeling of the nation or race in question. Humanitarianism and aesthetics would vanish even from a world inhabited by man if this world were to lose the races that have created and upheld these concepts." - Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf - "War Propaganda"
