Political rivals attacked me. I was savagely beaten. I was kicked in the face and I lost my eye as a result.

When you write a two thousand page history of the Second World War, the deportations and the concentration camps will take up five pages, and the gas chambers perhaps 20 lines.

The much greater crimes of the Soviet Gulags occurred over decades and cost millions of lives.

I have said, and I repeat, at the risk of appearing sacrilegious, that the gas chambers are a detail of the history of the Second World War.

There was no reason to label us as anti-Semitic.

An ancient dictum says that when Zeus wanted to destroy someone, he would first drive him mad.

I'm not saying that the gas chambers didn't exist. I couldn't see them myself.

There must be an authority, and we believe that the most qualified authority in a household is the man's.

There wasn't anti-Semitism in France.

The suffering caused by the terrorists is the real torture.

Marine Le Pen may want me dead, that's possible, but she must not count on my co-operation

Philosophy is the highest music.

Three people I take their words with a grain of salt: a person in love, a drunk and an insurance agent. They never really mean exactly what they say.

And sometimes you realize the value of the rain by knowing how unreliable and vanishing the rainbow is.

I've gone through so many of these stages of defeat and loss and victory, the ups and downs, that I know how to handle it.

Nothing can damn a man but his own righteousness; nothing can save him but the righteousness of Christ.

Every ant knows the formula of its ant-hill, every bee knows the formula of its beehive. They know it in their own way, not in our way. Only humankind does not know its own formula.

Knowledge pursued for its own sake - that's the definition of education, as opposed to training.

As consumers we are incredibly discerning, we sense where has been great care in the design, and when there is cynicism and greed.

I was always about the team, regardless of our relationship wasn't working out or didn't work out.

Thy love is Singular when all thy delight is in Jesus Christ, and thou dost find joy and comfort in no other thing.
