Bernhard Schlink Citations

“Il eut un rire méprisant. „Non, je ne parle pas d’ordres reçus et d’obéissance. Le bourreau n’obéit pas à des ordres. Il fait son travail, il ne hait pas ceux qu’il exécute, il ne se venge pas sur eux, il ne les supprime pas parce qu’ils le gênent ou le menacent ou l’agressent. Ils lui sont complètement indifférents. Ils lui sont tellement indifférents qu’il peut tout aussi bien les tuer que ne pas les tuer.”
Il me regarda. „Pas de mais? Allez-y, dites qu’il n’est pas permis qu’un homme soit à ce point indifférent à un autre. On ne vous a pas appris ça? La solidarité avec tout ce qui a visage humain? La dignité humaine? Le respect de la vie?”

“When we open ourselves
you yourself to me and I myself to you,
when we submerge
you into me and I into you
when we vanish
into me you and into you I

Then
am I me
and you are you.”

“What is law? Is it what is on the books, or what is actually enacted and obeyed in a society? Or is law what must be enacted and obeyed, whether or not it is on the books, if things are to go right?”
