Johannes Gross

“The word ‘Realpolitik’ has been lost in the German language and will no longer be needed; it lives on in other languages as a foreign expression. In place of it we urgently need the word ‘Moralpolitik’ in

order to label that which we, out of responsibility, refrain from doing.”

“Notizbuch Johannes Gross. Neueste Folge”, Frankfurter Allgemeine Magazin, Feb 26 1993 p 10.
