Hannah Arendt
“Another argument against extradition, offered by the observers the West German government sent to Jerusalem, was that Germany had abolished capital punishment and hence was unable to mete out the sentence Eichmann deserved. In view of the leniency shown by German courts to Nazi mass murderers, it is difficult not to suspect bad faith in this objection.”
Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil

Hannah Arendt
“Eichmann’s own attitude was different. First of all, the indictment for murder was wrong: “With the killing of Jews I had nothing to do. I never killed a Jew, or a non-Jew, for that matter —I never killed any human being. I never gave an order to kill either a Jew or a non-Jew; I just did not do it,” or, as he was later to qualify this statement, “It so happened ... that I had not once to do it”—for he left no doubt that he would have killed his own father if he had received an order to that effect.”
Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil

“A little simplicification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.” —Eleanor Roosevelt”
Erin Boyle, Simple Matters: Living with Less and Ending Up with More

“In 164 BC they defeat the Seleucid army, recapture Jerusalem, and cleanse the temple. To celebrate the cleansing of the temple, the Jewish festival of Hanukkah is instituted, a holiday that Jews continue to celebrate today.”
J. Daniel Hays, The Temple and the Tabernacle: A Study of God's Dwelling Places from Genesis to Revelation

Hannah Arendt
“An “idealist” was a man who lived for his idea—hence he could not be a businessman—and who was prepared to sacrifice for his idea everything and, especially, everybody.”
Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
