Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Never in history has such ruination—physical and moral—been associated with the name of one man.”
“Society wants to believe it can identify evil people, or bad or harmful people, but it’s not practical. There are no stereotypes.” —Ted Bundy
“As a kid, I quite fancied the romantic, bohemian idea of being an artist. I expect I thought I could escape from the difficulties of maths and spelling. Maybe I thought I would avoid the judgment of the establishment.” —Peter Wright
“Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.” —Adolf Hitler
“Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.” —George Orwell
“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.” —Adolf Hitler
“The man who is born to be a dictator is not compelled. He wills it. He is not driven forward, but drives himself. There is nothing immodest about this. Is it immodest for a worker to drive himself toward heavy labor? Is it presumptuous of a man with the high forehead of a thinker to ponder through the nights till he gives the world an invention?
“For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.”
