Quotes
- "To the fanatic, everything is black or white, curse or blessing, friend or foe-- and nothing in between.  He is immune to doubt and hesitation.  He perceives tolerance as weakness."
- "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.
Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never."
- "...to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all..."
