Even Eichmann was sickened when he toured the concentration camps.

For a person to feel responsible for his actions, he must sense that the behavior has flowed from the self.

Each individual possesses a conscience which to a greater or lesser degree serves to restrain the unimpeded flow of impulses destructive to others. But when he merges his person into an organizational structure, a new creature replaces autonomous man, unhindered by the limitations of individual morality, freed of humane inhibition, mindful only of the sanctions of authority.

The essence in obedience consists in the fact that a person comes to view himself as an instrument for carrying out another person's wishes and he therefore no longer regards himself as responsible for his actions.

Relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority.

Perhaps the challenge is to invent the political structure that will give conscience a better chance against authority.

Only in action can you fully realize the forces operative in social behavior. That is why I am an experimentalist.
