Quote by Adam Sternbergh

“[She] sees. She knows. She understands. About evil, or whatever you care to name it. It comes. It's relentless. It doesn't care if you forgot it. It searches, and it finds you, and it arrives on your doorstep one day, and it lights up a screen, it calls you by your real name, it smiles at you, it says hello, it eyes your son and promises to take him home.”

“Истина в том, что нет хороших или плохих людей. Добро и зло не в людях, а в их поступках. Люди остаются просто людьми, а с добром или злом их связывает только то, то они делают или отказываются делать. Истина в том, что в одном мгновении настоящей любви, в сердце любого человека – и благороднейшего из всех, и самого пропащего – заключена, как в чашечке лотоса, вся жизнь, весь её смысл, содержание и назначение. Истина в том, что все мы – каждый из нас, каждый атом, каждая галактика и каждая частица материи во Вселенной – движемся к Богу.”

“The greater the bureaucratization of public life, the greater will be the attraction of violence. In a fully developed bureaucracy there is nobody left with whom one could argue, to whom one could present grievances, on whom the pressures of power could be exerted. Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of political freedom, of the power to act; for the rule by Nobody is not no-rule, and where all are equally powerless we have a tyranny without a tyrant.”
