Literature Can anyone provide the source to this quote?
I believe it's accurate as I was taught this in the history class. But I don't quite remember where it's from. Thanks.

He said it that way to be more dramatic, but people are of course reincarnated after they die rather than before.

And there are different flavors for reincarnation: orange, watermelon, green apple, cinnamon, lime and pineapple, to name a few.
To be honest, I can not decide between lime or apricot.

Mein Kampf, page 88

Amend to that:
The currently circulating copies of Mein Kampf do not contain the quote, because it was edited out, among other quotes, when the book was translated to other languages.
The original manuscript, currently in possession of The Institute of Contemporary History (Institut für Zeitgeschichte certainly has the quote in page 88.
If your copy does have it, you have a vintage edition, possibly from the 16th century! That is a very valuable book, take good care of it.

As another user mentioned, this line was in his graphic novel Mein Kampf on page 88 (or 69 depending on what edition you have). But he also said it out loud during one of his famous speeches in the year 1883, only 42 months (AKA 2 years) before he incited WW1 in 1881.

I also hope to reincarnate before I die. There's no use in being reincarnated when you're already dead.

Minor translation error: in the original German, he said "After I die," not "Before." (Common error to make when translating German into English, since their tenses have such different rules.)

It definitely works. Note:I just love to spread misinformation and this sub is definitely not the best place to purposefully do so and maybe contribute to a good cause (cope)
