"We cannot know one language unless we know two, for by knowing another language we raise into distinct consciousness and clear prominence the qualities of our own -- the qualities of its vocabulary, its idiom and its rhythm." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(1749-1832: German poet, novelist, playwright, and statesman)
"In Germany they [the Nazis under Hitler] came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up for me."
--Martin Niemoller
