“I certainly think that another Holocaust can happen again. It did already occur; think of Cambodia, Rwanda, and Bosnia.”

“Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.”

“Permanent remorse about failing to do your human duty, in my opinion, can be worse than losing your life.”
