“Each year, Flore and I celebrate our wedding anniversary on 20 April - Hitler's birthday. We are still here; Hitler is down there. Sometimes, when we are sitting in the evening in front of the television with a cup of tea and a biscuit, I think, aren't we lucky? In my mind, this is really the best revenge, and it is the only revenge I'm interested in - to be the happiest man on earth.”

“You are still doing important things, contributing your own small piece to the world we live in. We must never forget this. Your efforts today will affect people you will never know.

And it is yours to make.”
