"Concentration camp existence.. taught us that the whole world is really like a concentration camp. The weak work for the strong, and if they have no strength or will to work- then let them steal. Or let them die... There is no crime that a man will not commit in order to save himself. And, having saved himself, he will commit crimes for increasingly trivial reasons; he will commit them first out of duty, then from habit, and finally-- for pleasure.... The world is ruled by neither justice nor morality; crime is not punished nor virtue rewarded, one is forgotten as quickly as the other. The world is ruled by power."
- Tadeusz Borowski
