Quote by Karl Lagerfeld

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was

Summary

By comparing homosexuality to hair color, the speaker's mother suggests that just like hair color, sexual orientation is a natural and inherent aspect of a person's identity that should not be stigmatized or viewed as something controversial. It emphasizes the need for a healthy and open-minded attitude towards diversity in human sexuality.

They are wrong who think that politics is like an ocean voya

They are wrong who think that politics is like an ocean voyage or a military campaign, something to be done with some particular end in view, something which leaves off as soon as that end is reached. It is not a public chore, to be got over with. It is a way of life. It is the life of a domesticated political and social creature who is born with a love for public life, with a desire for honor, with a feeling for his fellows; and it lasts as long as need be.
