“A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization?” The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon. Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.” A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend. Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur.”

“The Nazi and Soviet regimes turned people into numbers, some of which we can only estimate, some of which we can reconstruct with fair precision. It is for us as scholars to seek those numbers and to put them into perspective. It is for us as humanists to turn the numbers back into people. If we cannot do that, then Hitler and Stalin have shaped not only our world, but our humanity.”

“মানুষ বড় কাঁদছে, তুমি মানুষ হয়ে পাশে দাঁড়াও, মানুষই ফাঁদ পাতছে, তুমি পাখির মতো পাশে দাঁড়াও, মানুষ বড় একলা, তুমি তাহার পাশে এসে দাঁড়াও। তোমাকে সেই সকাল থেকে তোমার মতো মনে পড়ছে, সন্ধে হলে মনে পড়ছে, রাতের বেলা মনে পড়ছে। মানুষ বড় একলা, তুমি তাহার পাশে এসে দাঁড়াও, এসে দাঁড়াও, ভেসে দাঁড়াও এবং ভালোবেসে দাঁড়াও, মানুষ বড় কাঁদছে, তুমি মানুষ হয়ে পাশে দাঁড়াও।”
