• As long as my record stands in federal court, any American citizen can be held in prison or concentration camps without trial or hearing. I would like to see the government admit they were wrong and do something about it, so this will never happen again to any American citizen of any race, creed, or color.

• It was a total and absolute surprise to find out that what was inside the concentration camps was a sea of skeletons. What is clear to me, therefore, is that while the tragedy of war grinds on, the contemporary aesthetics of the tragedy seem not only confused but, in some way, suspicious.

• Cualquier persona desarmada es esclava, o está sujeta a esclavitud en cualquier momento. Si se quitan las armas de las manos del pueblo y sólo los cerdos tienen armas, entonces se va a los campos de concentración, a las cámaras de gas o a lo que se les ocurra a los fascistas de Estados Unidos. Uno de los derechos democráticos de Estados Unidos, la Segunda Enmienda de la Constitución, otorga al pueblo el derecho a portar armas. Sin embargo, hay un derecho mayor; el derecho de la dignidad humana que otorga a todos los hombres el derecho a defenderse.

• I am not allowed to be afraid. My mother made me like that. As a child, if I was afraid of the dark, she would lock me in the closet. Things like this. And she would talk about the time she spent in the concentration camp, but not about being afraid, only about the good side of it.

• Considere por qué Alemania, luchando en una guerra en dos frentes, desesperada por combustible y material de todo tipo, se molestaría en cargar a millones de judíos en vagones de ferrocarril y transportarlos cientos, incluso miles, de kilómetros a campos de concentración. Campos construidos específicamente para albergarlos, donde serían alimentados, vestidos, incluso tatuados para poder ser inventariados... sólo para matarlos.

• El feminismo no ha luchado en guerras... no ha matado a ningún oponente... no ha creado campos de concentración... no ha matado de hambre a ningún enemigo... no ha practicado la crueldad. Sus batallas han sido por la educación, por el voto, por mejores condiciones de trabajo, por la seguridad en las calles... por reformas en la ley.

• Entonces, un día me di cuenta de que se había creado una imagen falsa de los campos alemanes y de que el problema de los campos de concentración era universal, no sólo uno que podía eliminarse situándolo en el umbral de los nacionalsocialistas. Los deportados -muchos de los cuales eran comunistas- habían sido en gran medida responsables de llevar el pensamiento político internacional a una conclusión tan errónea. De repente sentí que al permanecer en silencio era cómplice de una influencia peligrosa.

• If writing with a goal - whether it be evangelistic, apologetic, or didactic - implies propaganda, then all recorded history is propaganda. . . a work shouldn't be dismissed simply because of the strong convictions of the writer. Should we discount the facticity or reliability of the accounts of Nazi concentration camp survivors simply because they passionately recount their story?

• The United Nations is nothing but a trap-door to the Red World's immense concentration camp. We pretty much control the U.N.

• We all know that books burn, yet we have the greater knowledge that books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny of every kind.

• Nothing whatever but the constitutional law, the political structure, of these United States protects any American from arbitrary seizure of his property and his person, from the Gestapo and the Storm Troops, from the concentration camp, the torture chamber, the revolver at the back of his neck in a cellar.

• ...women who 'adjust' as housewives, who grow up wanting to be 'just a housewife,' are in as much danger as the millions who walked to their own death in the concentration camps...they ate suffering a slow death of mind and spirit.

• A golf course outside a big town serves an excellent purpose in that it segregates, as though a concentration camp, all the idle and idiot well-to-do.

• Listen to me, kid. Don't forget that you are in a concentration camp. In this place, it is every many for himself, and you cannot think of others. Not even you father. In this place, there is no such thing as father, brother, friend. Each of us lives and dies alone. Let me give you good advice: stop giving your ration of bread and soup to your old father. You cannot help him anymore. And you are hurting yourself. In fact, you should be getting his rations.

• Most men in a concentration camp believed that the real opportunities of life had passed. Yet, in reality, there was an opportunity and a challenge. One could make a victory of those experiences, turning life into an inner triumph, or one could ignore the challenge and simply vegetate, as did a majority of the prisoners.

• By my monastic life and vows I am saying no to all the concentration camps, the aerial bombardments, the staged political trials, the judicial murders, the racial injustices, the economic tyrannies, and the whole socioeconomic apparatus which seems geared for nothing but global destruction in spite of all its fair words in favor of peace.

• ...América no tenía que luchar contra la escasez y todos nos sentíamos culpables ante la gente que aún tenía que luchar por el pan y la libertad a la antigua usanza... No nos moríamos de hambre, no nos pinchaba la policía, ni nos encerraban en manicomios por nuestras ideas, ni nos arrestaban, ni nos deportaban, ni nos enviaban como esclavos a morir en campos de concentración. Nos ahorramos los holocaustos y las noches de terror. Con nuestras ventajas deberíamos estar formulando las nuevas preguntas básicas para la humanidad. Pero en lugar de eso dormimos. Sólo dormimos y dormimos, y comemos y jugamos y alborotamos y volvemos a dormir.

• I was born in the middle of the Second World War when the United States dropped their atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when millions of people were dying in concentration camps, when half the planet were colonies that belonged to empires. The word feminism didn't exist. And in my lifetime I have seen all these things improved, changed. We are more connected, more informed. We can fight against stuff together in ways we couldn't before.
