Martin Buber
“Man wishes to be confirmed in his being by man, and wishes to have a presence in the being of the other….

Hannah Arendt
“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea
