Quotes
[edit]undated
[edit]- The purpose of life is to struggle as hard as you can for what you believe in and enjoy the struggle.
- Interview with Ralph Ginzburg in Nazi Rockwell! A Portrait in Sound
- Nazism says that women are absolutely equal to men. But they're different. And thank God for the difference.
- Our motto continues to be: 'White Man, stand with us and fight, or stand out of our way!'
- I am a political soldier. I mean to win. I do not hesitate to admit that I would do anything, absolutely anything, to ensure the survival and happiness of our White, Western People.
The survival of Western Civilization is at stake. There is no "moral" and "immoral". The only immoral thing is to permit an enemy to destroy one's people, either by decay or by physical annihilation.
Gentile doctrines mean nothing but oblivion in the filth, stench, and horror of the battlefield. If the enemy gouges eyes, I will gouge eyes and kick to the groin.
Perhaps I will go to hell for doing what must be done. But If I can look up and see white boys and girls once again playing in a decent, safe, and wholesome America, then bring on the Devil with his worst.
- The color of your skin is your uniform in this ultimate battle for the survival of the West.
- Only failure is immoral.
- The Jews would build their own gas chambers if the price is right.
1959
[edit]- I suggest that you instruct your people to see me openly, honestly, and that we join in an open, honest, and successful fight to destroy Israel the way it must be destroyed, by cutting off the parasite’s blood.
- In letter to Egyptian President Gamal Nasser.
1960
[edit]- Out of the mud and slime of lies, your holy red, white and black Swastika has been flung back into the skies in Virginia, United States of America, and we pledge you our lives, Adolf Hitler, that we shall not flag or fail until we have utterly destroyed the forces of Marxism and darkness.
- Dedication in his book This Time the World (1960).
In Hoc Signo Vinces
[edit]- If we are to be the last of the white men who conquered the world; if we are finally to be overwhelmed by a pack of rats, let us at least face the death of our race as our ancestors faced their death---like MEN. Let us not crawl down amongst the rats begging for mercy or trying to out-sneak them and pretend to be rats ourselves!
- Let us stand on the scaffold of history — if hang we must — like the martyrs of Nuremberg, tall and proud! Is life so sweet, is comfort so precious and a job in a Jewish counting house so sacred that we are AFRAID to grasp the mighty hand of ADOLF HITLER reaching down to us our of our glorious past?
- It is part of the Jews to be sneaky and sly. The genius of our people has ever been joyous strength, robust forcefulness, directness, manly courage, and flaming heroism. When the Jews, with their economic terrorism, jails, bullies and hangmen, scare the White man into laying down his cudgel and goad him into trying to out-sneak Jewish tyranny, the Jews have completely emasculated the once-strong White man, and doomed him to dishonor and defeat. The White man can NEVER win by sneaking!
1961
[edit]This Time The World
[edit]- In Mein Kampf I found abundant 'mental sunshine' which bathed all the gray world suddenly in the clear light of reason and understanding. Word after word, sentence after sentence stabbed into the darkness like lightning bolts of revelation, tearing and ripping away the cobwebs of more than thirty years of darkness; brilliantly illuminating the heretofore obscure reasons for the world's madness. I was transfixed, hypnotized. I could not lay the book down without agonies of impatience to get back to it. I read it walking to the squadron, I took it into the air and read it, propped up on the chartboard, while I automatically gave the instructions to the other planes circling over the desert. I read it on the Coronado Ferry. I read it into the night and resumed the next morning. When I had finished, I started again and reread every word, underlining and marking especially magnificent passages. I studied it, thought about it and wondered at the utter, indescribable genius of it. How could the world not only ignore such a book, but damn it and curse it and hate it, and pretend that it was a plan for 'conquering' the world, when it was the most obvious and rational plan for saving the world which has ever been written? Had nobody read it, I wondered, that people went around saying it was the work of a mad "rug-chewer"? How could sensible people get away with such monstrous intellectual fraud? Why was it so hated and cursed? I could see why the Jews would hate and curse it, but why my own people? I reread and studied it some more. Slowly, bit by bit, I began to understand. I realized that National Socialism, the iconoclastic worldview of Adolf Hitler, was the doctrine of scientific, racial idealism, actually, a new 'religion' for our times. I saw that I was living in the age of a new worldview. Two thousand years ago there had been a similar rise of a new approach or worldview, called a 'religion'; a worldview which shook and changed the world forever.
- pp. 154–55
1962
[edit]- Muhammad understands the vicious fraud of the Jewish exploitation of the Negro people and, fighting his way from the gutters as we did, he had [sic] demonstrated truly incredible leadership abilities. He has gathered millions of the dirty, immoral, drunken, filthy-mouthed, lazy and repulsive people sneeringly called 'niggers' and inspired them to the point where they are clean, sober, honest, hard working, dignified, dedicated and admirable human beings in spite of their color.
- January 1962 in The Rockwell Report regarding Elijah Muhammad. See [https://books.google.ca/books?id=-dNCCGSAtCsC&pg=PT166 The Portable Malcolm X Reader edited by Marable and Felber, p. 166
- No American white desires to intermix with black people.
- 25 February 1962 at Chicago Savior's Day annual Nation of Islam convention, according to 1 April 1962 edition of The Rockwell Report, as affirmed by page 167 of The Portable Malcolm X Reader by Marable and Felber
White Self-Hate: Master-Stroke Of The Enemy
[edit]- This time, there at last exists in this world an organization not dedicated to saving just one PART of the White Race - as the Klan tried and succeeded for a time in saving the South, and the German Nazis tried and succeeded for a while in saving Germany - THIS TIME, the American Nazi Party and the World Union of National Socialists, of which the American Nazi Party is a part, will see to it that the White Race never again lays itself open to brainwashing and defeat by DIVIDING ITSELF and by being taught to HATE ITSELF and PARTS OF ITSELF - the way Yankees and "rebels" were taught to hate each other, and Americans and "Nazis" were taught to hate each other.
- This time we'll hate, alright - but we'll hate the ENEMY - the vicious gang of colored scum attackers and Jewish-Communist traitors - rather than one part of our own people hating another part for the benefit of the Jews and their army of SCUM!
- I care not what religion, club, area or class you come from, nor what bit of colored cloth you wave as a flag. WE are ALL under deadly attack by colored hordes which outnumber us more than seven to one, led by a filthy Jewish, Communist conspiracy!
- White Man, let us stand together to secure the survival of your people and my people, for they are one and the same - they are our beloved, miraculous, wonderful, blessed and masterful white race!
1966
[edit]White Power
[edit]- You're a slave in your own country, White Man. Each year you get to keep less of the fruits of your labor; each year it gets more difficult to carry the burden the aliens have placed upon you; each year the cheap labor of aliens makes your future less secure; each year you retreat a few steps more into the world of slavery.
Interview with Alex Haley
[edit]- Interview with Alex Haley, published in Playboy (April 1966) (Edited by Playboy).
- The nigger race is inherently inferior to the white race intellectually.
- A leopard doesn't change his spots just because you bring him in from the jungle and try to housebreak him and turn him into a pet. He may learn to sheathe his claws in order to beg a few scraps off the dinner table, and you may teach him to be a beast of burden, but it doesn't pay to forget that he'll always be what he was born: a wild animal.
- Being prepared to die is one of the great secrets of living.
- I use the term "Communist Jews" in exactly the same sense that I would say "Italian gangsters." Most Italians are not gangsters, but everybody knows that the Mafia is mostly Italians. Well, my experience is that communism is as Jewish as the Mafia is Italian. It's a fact that almost all of the convicted spies for communism have been atheist Jews like the Rosenbergs. And international communism was invented by the Jew Karl Marx and has since been led mostly by Jews — Trotsky.
- Evolution shows that in the long run, if the superior mixes with the inferior, the product is halfway between, and inferior to what you started with in the original superior group - in other words, mongrelized.
- In Germany, Hitler produced a local "lab experiment"; he provided me with an ideology in the same way that Marx provided one for Lenin. My task is to turn this ideology into a world movement.
- I don't believe in democracy. In the second place, neither did our white forefathers. I believe, as they did, in a republican authoritarian republic with a limited electorate - just like the one the writers of our Constitution meant this country to be. When these white Christian patriots sat down to write the Declaration of Independence, there were no black citizens for them to worry about.
- I just think you people would be happier back in Africa where you came from.
- I think the average Jew is probably sharper intellectually than the average gentile, because for years and years he's had to live by his wits. Consequently, there has evolved a race of Jews who are more agile mentally than the rest of us.
- Jews talk a lot about God. But actually their god, just like Marx said, is money. Cash!
Misattributed
[edit]- We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.
- The "14 Words" is the most popular white nationalist slogan in the world. However, the slogan was coined by David Lane. The term reflects the primary white nationalist worldview: that unless immediate action is taken, the white race is doomed to extinction by a "rising tide of color" controlled and manipulated by Jews.
Quotes about Rockwell
[edit]- In alphabetical order.
- [T]he scientific racism of Rockwell were eventually rendered insignificant in the mainstream media during the 1960s as much by new understandings of culture, the environment, and population genetics, as by the sea change of attitudes and perspectives brought on by that decade's torrent of social change. It was taken up, however, with renewed attention by the likes of George Lincoln Rockwell and it still festers in circles that still despise integration.
- Lee D. Baker, "The Cult of Franz Boas and his 'Conspiracy' to Destroy the White Race" (PDF), Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society (March 2010), Vol. 154, No. 1, p. 16
- Friends of mine are always showing me articles. "Look at what this bigoted bastard wrote!" And then I dug something. Liberals will buy anything a bigot writes. And they'll really support it. George Lincoln Rockwell, the head of the American Nazi Party, perhaps is a very knowledgeable businessman with no political convictions whatsoever. He gets three bucks a head and works the mass rallies of nothing but angry Jews, shaking their fists and wondering why there are so many Jews there. And he probably has two followers who are deaf. They think the swastika is an Aztec symbol.
- Lenny Bruce, "The Arrest of Lenny Bruce"(PDF), The Realist, Issue 41, June 1963, p. 29
- George Lincoln Rockwell is an egocentric and a chronic failure who created the shabby, small-time enterprise which he named the American Nazi Party in order to abate his tormenting ambitions to achieve fame. Carrying the war-tattered banner of a vanquished enemy the world would like to forget, Rockwell leads his heterogeneous "army" against an imaginary "Zionist conspiracy." Distasteful costumes, contemptible slogans, and disruptive tactics have brought national attention to Rockwell, inflating him and his group far beyond their due.
- Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI Monograph(PDF), American Nazi Party, June 1965, pg 10
- It is difficult to imagine a white equivalent of Louis Farrakhan (George Lincoln Rockwell?) receiving the sort of respectful and deferential coverage given to Farrakhan, who believes that white people were invented by a wicked prehistorical scientist.
- Kevin D. Williamson "Conspiracy-a-Rama: A return to the paranoid style in African-American politics", National Review (November 25, 2015), accessed 12 May 2018
