Our days are so few, our existences so complicated. As long as we're breathing we shouldn't further complicate our lives.

We are all born with a powerful herd instinct and it can force otherwise rational people to act in inexplicable ways.

I think I'm a happy man, and I'm a blessed man. I have been able to adjust to any situation, whatever it was, in my life.

Everybody was willing to give me a job. But I wanted to do something different. I saw myself as an independent person, self-employed.

A sad truth of human nature is that it is hard to care for people when they are abstractions, hard to care when it is not you or somebody close to you. Unless the world community can stop finding ways to dither in the face of this monstrous threat to humanity those words Never Again will persist in being one of the most abused phrases in the English language and one of the greatest lies of our time.

If we want to change things, we must first change ourselves. If we want to play - if we want to change the world - we must first show up on the field to score.

This is why I say that the individual's most potent weapon is a stubborn belief in the triumph of common decency.
