"Hermann Goering, Joachim von Ribbetrop, Albert Speer, Walther Frank, Julius Streicher and Robert Ley did pass under my inspection and interrogation in 1945, but they only proved that National Socialism was a gangster interlude at a rather low order of mental capacity and with a surprisingly high incidence of alcoholism."

"Doubt is to certainty as neurosis is to psychosis. The neurotic is in doubt and has fears about persons and things; the psychotic has convictions and makes claims about them. In short, the neurotic has problems, the psychotic has solutions."
- Thomas Szasz (b. 1920), American psychiatrist: ‘Mental Illness’ in "The Second Sin", 1973.
"A white face goes with a white mind. Occasionally a black face goes with a white mind. Very seldom a white face goes will have a black mind."
