Angela Merkel

Multiculturalism has failed, utterly failed.

We cannot have a repeat of last summer’s situation.

Islam is part of Germany.

We must reduce the number of refugees noticeably.

We must say to people who come from countries where there is no war: You cannot stay.

There can be no tolerance of those who question the dignity of other people.

We must not allow ourselves to be divided.

The euro is much more than a currency.

We must be honest and say that we have not done enough to integrate refugees.

We will manage this.

I am like a camel. I can go for days without water.

I don't need a lot of sleep. I'm a bit like a camel in that respect.

The internet is uncharted territory for all of us.

I'm not a person who just says, 'Oh, I'm going to do this now.' I need to think about it for a long time.

I often think about what I would do if I were a man. But then I realize it's irrelevant.

Sometimes I just want to sit on a bench and watch the ships go by.

I don't have time for small talk.

I'm not a big fan of surprises.

I don't have a specific hobby. I read a lot.

I eat a lot of potatoes. My mother taught me that.
