1125: WE LET OURSELVES DOWN!

"Suddenly it all comes down, all at once. You see what you are, what you have done, or, more accurately, what you haven't done, (for that was all that was required of most of us: that we do nothing). You remember the occasions in which maybe if you had stood others would have stood too. You remember everything now, and your heart breaks. Too late. You are compromised beyond repair." They Thought They Were Free, The Germans, 1938-45 University of Chicago Press, 1955
