George Monbiot
“To seek enlightenment, intellectual or spiritual; to do good; to love and be loved; to create and to teach: these are the highest purposes of humankind. If there is meaning in life, it lies here.”
George Monbiot, How Did We Get into This Mess?: Politics, Equality, Nature

Volker Ullrich
“In his book Defying Hitler, written in British exile in 1939, Sebastian Haffner recalled the “icy fright” that had been his first reaction to the news that Hitler had been named chancellor: “For a moment I almost physically sensed the odour of blood and filth surrounding this man Hitler.

On the contrary, it served to make Hitler's own supremacy essentially unassailable.”
Volker Ullrich, Adolf Hitler: Die Jahre des Aufstiegs 1889 - 1939 Biographie
