Hitler: "Faith is harder to shake than knowledge. Love succumbs less to change than respect. Hate is more enduring than aversion and the impetus to the mightiest upheavals on this Earth has at all times consisted less in scientific knowledge dominating the masses than in the fanaticism which inspired them and sometimes in hysteria that drove them forward."

The faithful will swallow it whole so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it."
Goebbels' four commandments: Hear nothing that we do not wish you to hear See nothing that we do not wish you to see. Believe nothing that we do not wish you to believe. Think nothing that we do not wish you to think.
