"Hitler had a certain time to come to the stadium and a certain time to leave. It happened he had to leave before the victory ceremony after the 100 meters [race began at 5:45 p.m. But before he left I was on my way to a broadcast and passed near his box. He waved at me and I waved back. I think it was bad taste to criticize the "man of the hour" in another country." - Jesse Owens
"Hitler didn't snub me—it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram." - Jesse Owens
"The Negro excels. It was not long ago that his ability to sprint and jump was a life-and-death matter to him in the jungle. His muscles are pliable, and his easy going disposition is a valuable aid to the mental and physical relaxation that a runner and jumper must have.” - US Olympic track coach
I think it's unfair, to have people like Jesse Owens competing, because you might as well have deer or gazelle on your team. - Joseph Goebbels
