Angela Merkel

I think the political class in Berlin doesn't need to be supervised and monitored by intelligence services in order to find out what they're thinking. Just go to lunch with them, go to dinner with them, or read the papers.

Whenever you have political conflict, such as the one that we have now between Russia and Ukraine, but also in many other conflicts around the world, it has always proved to be right to try again and again to solve such a conflict.

This inclination to hoard is deeply ingrained in me because in the past, in times of scarcity, you took what you could get.

Having led many negotiations with countries outside the E.U. in the past, we would never enter the same compromises and reach the same good outcomes with states that don't shoulder the responsibilities and costs of the common market.

I chose to pursue a career in physics because there the truth isn't so easily bent.

The goal of our actions is and will remain a sovereign and territorially intact Ukraine that can decide its own future.

The European Army is our long-term goal. But first we have to strengthen the European Defence Union.

We need a really credible perspective toward long-term de-carbonization.

Hatred, racism, and extremism have no place in this country.

We believe that from both a German and a Polish perspective, it is desirable for Great Britain to remain in the European Union.

We feel bound to the Christian image of humanity - that is what defines us. Those who do not accept this are in the wrong place here.

If you wish to have free access to the single market, then you have to accept the fundamental rights as well as obligation that come from it.
