Quotes

• “He could hear Pa’s voice saying, “A man’s religion, his sect, is his own affair. But those people have no religion or sect. They’re a mob, with a mob’s fear and cruelty, and with half-crazy, cunning men stirring them up against others.””
• ““Why did they do it?” he asked.“Because they’re afraid.”“Of what?”“Of yesterday,” said Mr. Hostetter. “Of tomorrow.””
• “There’s never been an act done since the beginning, from a kid stealing candy to a dictator committing genocide, that the person doing it didn’t think he was fully justified. That’s a mental trick called rationalizing, and it’s done the human race more harm than anything else you can name.”
• ““Will it always stay like this?”“Nothing,” said Hostetter, “ever stays always like anything.””
• ““I guess we’ve got a lot to learn.”“Quite a lot,” said Hostetter thoughtfully. “It won’t be easy, either. So many things will jar against every belief you’ve grown up with, and I don’t care how you scoff at it, some of it sticks to you.””
• “You can’t destroy knowledge. You can stamp it under and burn it up and forbid it to be, but somewhere it will survive.”
