Quotations

"After four years of terrible experiences, through endurance, patience, and most severe trials we dreamed in spite of everything of a Peace like gentle youth with a palm of peace in his hand, from whose glorious face came tormented humanity's words: 'Peace on Earth and Good Will to Man.'" (The Face of Peace 1919; photo before 1899 DHM Berlin)
