“I for one believe that not enough has been made of the tragedy of the destruction of 6 million Jews. Somebody has to cry-even if it's a writer, 20 years later.”
Bernard Malamud
“The greatest tragedy in America is not the destruction of our natural resources, though that tragedy is great. The truly great tragedy is the destruction of our human resources by our failure to fully utilize our abilities, which means that most men and women go to their graves with their music still in them.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“He who fears is literally delivered to destruction.”
Howard Thurman
“Nothing is set in stone. Every moment is an opportunity to create. And, here is something to consider: even if something was set in stone, stone can crumble, it can break. It is not indestructible. Sometimes destruction is a necessary part of construction.”
Elizabeth Alraune
“The spirit of our American radicalism is destructive and aimless; it is not loving; it has no ulterior and divine ends; but is destructive only out of hatred and selfishness.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Through this tragedy, great duties have come to our nation. The destruction of this hurricane was beyond any human power to control, but the restoration of broken communities and disrupted lives now rests in our hands.”
Laura Bush
“Welcome to America! This is now, a tyrannical paradise. May all your wishes and dreams; come to a horrible and destructive end.”
