If the road to social transformation can be paved only by saints who never make mistakes, the road will never be built.

 
Van Jones
 

It seemed as impossible to conceive of Auschwitz with God as to conceive of Auschwitz without God. Therefore, everything had to be reassessed because everything had changed. With one stroke, mankind's achievements seemed to have been erased. Was Auschwitz a consequence or an aberration of "civilization"? All we know is that Auschwitz called that civilization into question as it called into question everything that had preceded Auschwitz. Scientific abstraction, social and economic contention, nationalism, xenophobia, religious fanaticism, racism, mass hysteria. All found their ultimate expression in Auschwitz.

 
Elie Wiesel
 

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, but indifference between life and death.

 
Elie Wiesel
 

The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.

 
Philip Roth
 

All right. Have it your own way. Road to hell paved with unbought stuffed dogs. Not my fault.

 
Ernest Hemingway
