Quote by Theo L. Dorpat

“Still, in my struggles over my feelings of anger and repugnance, I have sometimes been able to break through my blinders and view Hitler as another human being, imperfect, and suffering like myself. Only then could I see beyond his terrible rage to the suffering, traumatized child within. At those times, I understood the feelings of the child subject to violent verbal and physical abuse by his father. My own military service in World War II and my later professional working in treating traumatized war veterans has helped me as well to empathetically recognize Hitler's immense suffering in World War I”

“The church must also become increasingly active in social action outside its doors. It must seek to keep channels of communication open between the Negro and white community. It must take an active stand against the injustice that Negroes confront in housing, education, police protection, and in city and state courts. It must exert its influence in the area of economic justice. As guardian of the moral and spiritual life of the community the church cannot look with indifference upon these glaring evils.”

“Telling the story of an important, sympathetic public figure is often difficult for the biographer at the inevitable turning point: the ampersand between rise and fall. The greatest successes are in the pages at the left. The pages on the right may be strewn with mishaps, unfinished projects, marital problems, sadness, illness, and end notes. Even when those pages also offer modest joys and major triumphs, as they did for Debussy, the reader knows how the story ends.”
