Notable quotes

“Wee may say of him, as of the Spaniard, Hee is a bad Servant, but a worse Maister.”
— Thomas Adams, The Sacrifice of Thankefulnesse (London: C. Knight, 1616) p. 6.
“The Spaniard is inherently nationalistic; but no more so than other national groups. Most people, trained from birth to distrust the foreigner, are nationalistic.”
— Alvah Bessie, Men in Battle: A Story of American in Spain (1939), p. 153
“The genius of the Spanish people is exquisitely subtle, without being at all acute; hence there is so much humour and so little wit in their literature.”
— Samuel Taylor Coleridge, speaking on April 23, 1832; Henry Nelson Coleridge (ed.) Specimens of the Table Talk of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Edinburgh: John Grant, 1905) p. 171.
“In Mexico the gods ruled, the priests interpreted and interposed, and the people obeyed. In Spain, the priests ruled, the king interpreted and interposed, and the gods obeyed. A nuance in an ideological difference is a wide chasm.”
— Richard Condon A Talent for Loving (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1961) p. 5
“I say this to you because we Spaniards are a forgetful people, because we are used to living for the moment, because we do not look back, because we do not know how to see the chain of heroes, because we do not contemplate the sum of sacrifices.”
— Francisco Franco in 1940, as he received the Laureate Cross, Spain's highest military honour. As quoted by Jon Cowans (editor) in Modern Spain: A Documentary History (2003). Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, p. 211-214.
“What has happened, it turns out, is that by going on the euro, Spain and Italy in effect reduced themselves to the status of Third World countries that have to borrow in someone else’s currency, with all the loss of flexibility that implies.”
— Paul Krugman, "Paul Krugman Does Modern Money Theory: Today’s Links"
