Two Germans Explain Success and Failure

Albert Einstein 1922

If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.

Mesut Ozil (footballer)

“When we win, I am German. When we lose, I am an immigrant.”

Note

“Özil helped Germany win the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but retired from international competition in 2018, alleging discrimination and disrespect by the German Football Association (DFB) and the German media.”
