We will not return No one must leave here and so carry to the world, together with the sign impressed on his skin, the evil tidings of what man's presumption made of man in Auschwitz

The aims of life are the best defense against death.

Monsters exist, but they are too few in numbers to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are…the functionaries ready to believe and act without asking questions.

There is Auschwitz, and so there cannot be God.

Each of us bears the imprint of a friend met along the way; In each the trace of each.

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.

Perfection belongs to narrated events, not to those we live.

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.

Stars earn their brightest colors in the dark.

This is what labels do. They stick. If people think you're MAD, then everything you do, everything you think will have MAD stamped across it.

Our careers aren't paths so much as landscapes that are navigated.

I never really made any money and it certainly cost me more to take photographs than I got for them.

I'm always struck by the kids who turn up in New York and LA, and places in between. Chicago. Wanting to do theater, wanting to do independent film. Wanting to break into television or radio.

I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.

God will never help us be anyone other than ourselves.

I actually love working with accents. I don't know, something about it unlocks something in me. It makes me concentrate on getting into character a little more, helps me find a focus.

Seen from the moon we are all the same size.

Time is the only commodity we deal with which cannot be counterfeited, stolen or placed in inventory. Remember, time is irreplaceable.
