As quoted in Warum? Woher? Aber Wohin? (published 1 January 1954) by Hans Grimm, p. 14
“
I know that some Man capable of giving our problems a final solution must appear. I have sought such a Man. I could nowhere discover Him. And that is why I have set myself to do the preparatory work; only the most urgent preparatory work, for I know that I am myself not, the One. And I know also what is missing in me. But the other One still remains aloof, and nobody comes forward, and there is no more time to be lost.
— Adolf Hitler
