← Back to Helmut Kohl Profile
“I am not the one trying to speed things up. We are being driven.”
“As long as there is a wall, barbed wire and orders to shoot, there can be no talk of normality in Germany.”
“The Berlin Wall is perhaps the most visible expression of the moral gulf between free democracy and totalitarian dictatorship.”
“General Secretary Gorbachev’s policy of restructuring brings with it, for the first time since the end of World War II, a justifiable hope of overcoming the East-West conflict.”
