If a hundred million people believe in a lie, it doesn't follow that lie ceases to be a lie.

On more than one occasion I have been given to understand that if my income is below minimum wage I am in no position to negotiate or to say anything but “Yes, sir!”

Not all Turks are enemies, and not all Armenians are friends. Some Turks saved our lives by risking their own, and some Armenians betrayed us to the authorities.
*
Think of me as someone who is doing his utmost to be an honest witness in the eyes of an honest jury that may or may not exist.

Dividers don't like to speak of solidarity, or bankers of usury, or cannibals of vegetarianism, or pimps of castration.

Anyone who trusts someone else's judgment more than his own is a potential dupe.
