Quote by A.E. Samaan

“Nazismo = "nacionalsocialismo". Bolchevismo = "socialismo internacional". Uno era el colectivismo basado en la clase económica, el otro el colectivismo basado en la raza y la etnia. Estuvieron de acuerdo en la parte socialista, pero no estuvieron de acuerdo en los participantes.”

“«No se trata solo de que los vehículos convencionales de la civilización —las universidades, las artes, el mundo del libro— fueran incapaces de presentar resistencia apropiada a la brutalidad política; a veces se levantaron para acogerla y tributarle sus ceremonias y su apología. ¿Por qué? ¿Cuáles son los nexos, hasta ahora apenas conocidos, entre las pautas intelectuales, psicológicas, del alto saber literario y las tentaciones de lo inhumano.» Steiner, G. (2006) Lenguaje y silencio: Ensayos sobre la literatura, el lenguaje y lo inhumano. Sevilla: Editorial Gedisa (trabajo original publicado en New York, 1976), p. 12.”

“During the whole of the fucking Middle Ages, the place where they had it off most of all was the cemeteries!...people don't face up these odd little sides of things, leave a lot of naughty little facts in the dark out of human decency! A mistake! wrong!...human decency never holds up!...with me it's my enemas! the toilet! after two weeks without an enema I have nothing against dying...and they give it to me so hot that I scream... --And in Claunau? [i.e. Dachau] --You're right, you're right! I whimper, but I'm spoiled! but were you there, in Claunau?...My ass you were! doesn't stop you from screeching your fucking lungs out as if you were the first one in and the last one out!”

“In the interrogation room, silence was used as torture. But it was an invisible cruelty. No law prohibited. A few hours earlier, in the same place where Michael Ivanovich had been, Simon Berish was now locked up. Unlike the others who had passed through the room, he knew the reason why the white walls were covered with sound-absorbing material. The principle was that of an "anechoic chamber," where sounds cannot penetrate. The body compensates for the absence by creating artificial noises—tinnitus, ringing. As time passes, one becomes less and less able to distinguish reality, from the imagination.”
