“I would not say that they were happy. They knew what was going to happen to them. Of course, they were told what was going to happen to them, and they were resigned to their fate, and that is the strange thing about these people in the East.”

Paul Blobel (1894–1951) German SS officer and Holocaust perpetrator

“If there were four or five people like me, that would change the whole dynamic.”

Angus King (1944) United States Senator from Maine

As quoted "King Returns: Ex-Gov. Fights For Snowe's Senate Seat" by Susan Sharon at NPR (14 March 2012) http://www.npr.org/2012/03/14/148604276/king-returns-ex-gov-fights-for-snowes-senate-seat
Context: I don't have any illusions that I'm naively going to go down and Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell are going to say, "Angus, tell us how to do this." I mean, I know that's not going to work. But I think, No. 1, my election would send a significant message and, No. 2, it might provoke similar movements in other states. If there were four or five people like me, that would change the whole dynamic.

“Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.”

Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing

Cassandra (1860)
Context: The progressive world is necessarily divided into two classes — those who take the best of what there is and enjoy it — those who wish for something better and try to create it. Without these two classes the world would be badly off. They are the very conditions of progress, both the one and the other. Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.
