“One thing I love about politicians; they won't allow the truth to be obscured by a bunch of facts.”

“There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.”

“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”

“Today we have to learn all over again that love for the sinner and love for the person who has been harmed are correctly balanced if I punish the sinner in the form that is possible and appropriate. In this respect there was in the past a change of mentality, in which the law and the need for punishment were obscured. Ultimately this also narrowed the concept of law, which in fact is not only just being nice or courteous, but is found in the truth. And another component of the truth is that I must punish the one who has sinned against real love”

“I don’t know much about the world, but I do know one thing for sure. If I’m pessimistic, then the adults in this world who are not pessimistic are a bunch of idiots.”

“I saw a bunch of kids who needed love and acceptance and to be allowed to live as normal children, instead of having to fight to conceal their misery, fear, and weakness.”
