This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That've fooled anyone, it's an easy mistake to make

His actual quote is "WENN DU WIE DIE SONNE SCHEINEN WILLST, MUSST DU ZUERST WIE SIE BRENNEN"

and I think it's beautiful

I can't find a source for it, though. It's definitely not from Mein Kampf, as I went through all occurrences of Sonne and it's not there. There is one quote in there that says: "only once the sun went down can the moon shine", but that's quite different. I think it's just another misattributed quote.
