I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible and they show that there were times, and there probably are times, that it is human to be inhuman.

What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

When you send a clerk on business to a distant province, a man of rigid morals is not your best choice.

Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody's life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don't enjoy it once they get it.

Shall remain! Hear you this Triton of the minnows? Mark you His absolute 'shall'?
