Discovering witnesses is just as important as catching criminals.

When history looks back, I want people to know that the Nazis could not kill millions of people with impunity.

The end was surely near. The Nazis killed you only when you were naked, because they knew, psychologically, that naked people never resist.

The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.

Technology without hatred can be a blessing. Technology with hatred is always a disaster.

For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.

The history of man is the history of crimes, and history can repeat. So information is a defence. Through this we can build, we must build, a defence against repetition.

Justice for crimes against humanity must have no limitations.

God must have been on leave during the Holocaust.

Survival is a privilege which entails obligations. I am forever asking myself what I can do for those who have not survived.

I know I am not only the bad conscience of the Nazis. I am also the bad conscience of the Jews. Because what I have taken up as my duty was everybody's duty.

The combination of hatred and technology is the greatest danger threatening mankind.

Violence is like a weed - it does not die even in the greatest drought.

There is no denying that Hitler and Stalin are alive today... they are waiting for us to forget, because this is what makes possible the resurrection of these two monsters.

Humour is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them.

Discovering witnesses is just as important as catching criminals.

We know that we are not collectively guilty, so how can we accuse any other nation, no matter what some of its people have done, of being collectively guilty?

Camaraderie ends when crime begins.

Forgetting is something time alone takes care of but forgiveness is an act of volition and only the sufferer is qualified to make the decision

Forgetting is something time alone takes care of, but forgiveness is an act of volition, and only the sufferer is qualified to make the decision.

Clearly the human story is one of acceleration. There has been a Moore curve in terms of the number of people alive on the planet, our technological ability, and our ability to understand ourselves. We have had this extraordinary, explosive growth in our ingenuity.

I am not antigovernment. I would not run a campaign against government.

Is human nature basically good or evil? No economist can embark upon his profession without considering this question, and yet they all seem to. And they all seem to think human nature is basically good, or they wouldn't be surprised by the effects of deregulation.

Because I write a book a year, I always want to do one other project every year that's stimulating in a different way. It means you can be working but not using up your prose juice, you know?

That's not all our crops can do. We are also learning how to transform plants into factories. We can now raise plants that will create enzymes that would otherwise be created in chemical factories.

It is time for Congress to save the Postal Service, not dismantle it.

I've been a sports fan forever.

Of course there is school and sports, but I also like X-Box 360. 'Black Ops 3' is one of my favorites. I also like to play the guitar and piano.

Every few generations there are people who come along that change the way we look at the world, for musical enthusiasts Monk is one of these individuals.

I always say that I was dancing and acting in the belly. I feel like it's something I was born with and inspired by my family since I grew up backstage, watching them perform. I guess it was just a natural path for me.

I've been around Congress long enough to know there are issues we may never see eye-to-eye from the opposite aisle, but we should all agree that our job is to move America forward and benefit the people.

It's important to celebrate your failures as much as your successes. If you celebrate your failures really well, and if you get to the motto and say, 'Wow, I failed, I tried, I was wrong, I learned something,' then you realize you have no fear, and when your fear goes away, you can move the world.

Insurance companies can no longer refuse to cover Americans with pre-existing conditions. That's what change looks like.

If I had it to do over, I might have finished school first, then devoted all my time to StumbleUpon instead of dividing my time between the two. In the end, however, it was probably good to take the time I did.

The band is a living, breathing thing. It grows in the same way we do as human beings and if it doesn't, it dies. It's important to feed the organism, and one way of doing that is to set musical challenges that keep it alive.

I am not the paraplegic seated permanently in his chair or the able-bodied person on her feet. Identity for a hemiplegic is a shifty thing.
