“It is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions.”

“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future.

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
