Famous quotes containing the words verdict, supreme, national, tribunal, auschwitz and/or trial:

    “Americans are notorious for looking to their children for approval. How our children turn out and what they think of us has become the “final judgment” on our lives. . . . We imagine that the rising generation is rendering history’s verdict on us. We may resent children simply because we expect a harsh judgment from them.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “There’s a new tribunal now
    Higher than God’s—the educated man’s!”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal consciousness of the death of God is still ahead of us; perhaps we shall have to colonize the stars before it is finally borne in upon us that God is not out there.”
    —R.J. Hollingdale (b. 1930)

    “Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
