The internet has made it incredibly easy to find out who said what, and on what authority. But often you need the exact wording, or something like it, and sometimes you can't, or it might be that you only know a translated version.
So this is a thread for whatever you vaguely remember from somewhere, but can't track down by means of a simple search, in the hope that someone might know the correct form and hence the answer to your quest.
Three of mine:
1) It's never love for the same thing that makes allies of people. It's always hate for the same thing. What makes this one particularly frustrating is that I posted on another no longer extant site about it, found out the answer and forgot it again.
2) Never hate someone for their colour when there are so many better reasons. I have an idea it was a British footballer, though it sounds too good for one of those notoriously inarticulate celebrities.
3) Something about the definition of really bad news is about the same programme being on every channel or station. Very unsure of the wording of this one.

I'm impressed. I suppose I thought Denis Leary was a footballer because his name sounded to me as though he should have been.

Viktor Frankl, according to Wikiquote from a speech on 10/3/88 on the Rathausplatz in Vienna that was apparently titled 'In memoriam 1938'. A book is cited as evidence.
„Der Nationalsozialismus hat den Rassenwahn aufgebracht. In Wirklichkeit gibt es aber nur zwei Menschenrassen, nämlich die "Rasse" der anständigen Menschen und die "Rasse" der unanständigen Menschen. Und die "Rassentrennung" verläuft quer durch alle Nationen und innerhalb jeder einzelnen Nation quer durch alle Parteien.“

Viktor Frankl, as given by the internet, generally without attribution.
Without having access to the full text -- I haven't looked very hard -- I would guess that the first version is more likely to be right, but wonder if he did say anything along the lines of the latter in the course of the speech.

Maybe someone's made some progress with this in the interval.
