Quotes


"Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous.  More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions." ~Primo Levi




Please reflect on this quote and write your response.  Do you believe it?  What makes the nightly news, the "monsters" or the "functionaries" and why?


"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. we must take sides.  Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.  Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."  ~Elie Wiesel


In what circumstances today and even within our city do human beings endure suffering and humiliation?  Should we take sides?  How?


"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."  ~Edmund Burke
