Love makes everything complicated.

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

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. Not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are responsible for what we do with those memories

The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference creates evil. Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power.

Even in darkness it is possible to create light.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.

To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.

All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them. No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior.

Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.

To every man according to his ability.

What I was saved to is much more important than what I was saved from.

Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.

Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies.

I learned to trust the threats of enemies before the promises of friends.

The more famous I get, the more I am tolerated, albeit with some head-shaking.

At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.

Find me a reasonable lover against his weight in gold.

No one dressed by me ever looks like an idiot.

All your life you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye, and when something nudges it into outline it is like being ambushed by a grotesque.
