“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” George Orwell "Is this a sign that the Germans are so brutalized in their simplest human feelings, that no chord within them cries out at the sight of such deeds, and that they have sunk into a fatal consciencelessness from which they may never, ever recover?" Sophie Scholl, The White Rose - Second Leaflet, Munich 1942 "Stupidity has a knack of getting its way; as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves. In this respect our townsfolk were like everybody else, wrapped up in themselves; in other words they were human: they did not believe in plagues." Albert Camus, The Plague “Each day we are becoming a creature of splendid glory, or one of unthinkable horror.” C. S. Lewis
