"First they came 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 Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

"So, normal people have a fear of striking too soon or striking and hurting the wrong person. They worry about getting in trouble for hurting someone. They don't want to attract attention. They wonder if they are misinterpreting the situation- or instinctively assume the person approaching won't really hurt them. "
