“Ideology always paves the way toward atrocity.”

“There are always people willing to commit unspeakable human atrocity in exchange for a little power and privilege.”

“It must be recognized that an ideology is always out of phase with the situation in which it is employed, for an ideology has always emerged as a response to a preceding situation, the attributes of which are different from the current situation.”

“A man who pays respect to the great paves the way for his own greatness”

“Atrocity is recognized as such by victim and perpetrator alike, by all who learn about it at whatever remove. Atrocity has no excuses, no mitigating argument. Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity. It is self-perpetuating upon itself — a barbarous form of incest. Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred.”

“The path to obesity is paved with bacon and white bread; the way to skinny is built on apples and Ezekiel.”
