“Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it. Rejection of human solidarity, obtuse and cynical indifference to the suffering of others, abdication of the intellect and of moral sense to the principle of authority, and above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice, a colossal cowardice which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea.”
― Primo Levi, The Black Hole of Auschwitz

“Willful victims are dull, it's as if they can't wait to die.”
― Et Imperatrix Noctem

“The original is unfaithful to the translation.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”
― George Orwell, 1984
