George Grosz Quotes
I dont even like to talk about it. I hated being a number and not merely because I was a very small one. I let them bellow at me for just as long as it took me to find enough pluck to bellow back at them. - George Grosz Quotes
I had grown up in a humanist atmosphere, and war to me was never anything but horror, mutilation and senseless destruction, and I knew that many great and wise people felt the same way about it. - George Grosz Quotes
I stood up as best I could to their disgusting stupidity and brutality, but I did not, of course, manage to beat them at their own game. It was a fight to the bitter end, one in which I was not defending ideals or beliefs but simply my own self. - George Grosz Quotes
I thought the war would never end. And perhaps it never did, either. - George Grosz Quotes
I was disappointed, not because we had lost the war but because our people had allowed it to go on for so many years, instead of heeding the few voices of protest against all that mass insanity and slaughter. - George Grosz Quotes
In 1916 I was discharged from military service, or rather, given a sort of leave of absence on the understanding that I might be recalled within a few months. And so I was a free man, at least for a while. - George Grosz Quotes
In the end, they pardoned me and packed me off to a home for the shell-shocked. Shortly before the end of the war, I was discharged a second time, once again with the observation that I was subject to recall at any time. - George Grosz Quotes
Its an old ploy of the bourgeoisie. They keep a standing art to defend their collapsing culture. - George Grosz Quotes
Peace was declared, but not all of us were drunk with joy or stricken blind. - George Grosz Quotes
The bourgeoisie and the petty bourgeoisie have armed themselves against the rising proletariat with, among other things, culture. - George Grosz Quotes
The cult of individuality and personality, which promotes painters and poets only to promote itself, is really a business. The greater the genius of the personage, the greater the profit. - George Grosz Quotes
The war was a mirror; it reflected mans every virtue and every vice, and if you looked closely, like an artist at his drawings, it showed up both with unusual clarity. - George Grosz Quotes
Very little changed fundamentally, except that the proud German soldier had turned into a defeated bundle of misery and the great German army had disintegrated. - George Grosz Quotes
What can I say about the First World War, a war in which I served as an infantryman, a war I hated at the start and to which I never warmed as it proceeded? - George Grosz Quotes
