“As the Nazi regime developed over the years, the whole structure of decision-making was changed. At first there were laws. Then there were decrees implementing laws. Then a law was made saying, ‘There shall be no laws.’ Then there were orders and directives that were written down, but still published in ministerial gazettes. Then there was government by announcement; orders appeared in newspapers. Then there were the quiet orders, the orders that were not published, that were within the bureaucracy, that were oral. And finally, there were no orders at all. Everybody knew what he had to do.” YearsFirstsMadeStillsWholeGovernmentLawOrderDecisionWrittenChangedQuietStructureNewspapersDecision MakingRegimesNaziBureaucracyDecreeAnnouncementsImplementing Author:Raul Hilberg
“The Law is not in fault, but our evil and wicked nature; even as a heap of lime is still and quiet until water is poured on it, but then it begins to smoke and burn, not from the fault of the water, but from the nature of the lime, which will not endure it.” StillsLawEvilWaterQuietFaultsEndureSmokeWickedLimes Author:Saint Augustine
“One of the reasons that people are so fascinated by Jared Kushner is that he has had no role at all in anything close to politics up to this point I mean much like his father-in-law, and he's just such an unknown figure. I mean at least we knew Donald Trump as a reality television star and as a very bombastic figure. But Jared is so quiet, and he's so uninterested in courting press attention.” PeopleMeanReasonRealityLawFatherStarsAttentionRolesFiguresTelevisionTrumpQuietPressesFascinatedIn-lawsReality TelevisionUninterestedBombasticFather In Law Author:Sarah Ellison
“Throughout American history, the political leaders have always exhorted the American people to be nice and quiet and leave things to them.

“My head's never really quiet. The only time I can get it to turn off is if I watch 'CSI' or 'Law & Order,' where I have to follow the crime.

“Sloppy language and sloppy ways go together. Those who are truly educated have learned more than the sciences, the humanities, law, engineering, and the arts. They carry with them a certain polish that marks them as loving the better qualities of life, a culture that adds luster to the mundane world of which they are apart, a patina that puts a quiet glow on what otherwise might be base metal.” WorldWayArtMightTogetherLawCertainHumanityCultureLanguageQualityQuietMarkAddEducatedMetalsEngineeringPolishQuality Of LifeMundaneSloppyLusterBetter Quality Of Life Author:Gordon B.
