I am constantly amazed by man's inhumanity to man.

Everybody is somebody's Jew.

A country is considered the more civilised the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak and a powerful one too powerful.

Those who deny Auschwitz would be ready to remake it.

Dawn came on us like a betrayer; it seemed as though the new sun rose as an ally of our enemies to assist in our destruction.

Man is a centaur, a tangle of flesh and mind, divine inspiration and dust.

Life is so strangeI don't know whyBut somebody, somebody has to cry.

If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.
