The longer one listened to him, themore obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with an inability to think, namely, to think from the standpoint of somebody else. No communication was possible with him, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against the words and presence of others, and hence against reality as such. (Eichmann in Jerusalem, 49p)
"At that moment, I sensed a kind of Pontius Pilate feeling, for I felt free of all guilt."
Who was he to judge? Who was he "to have (his) own thoughts in this matter"?
Well, he was neither the first nor the last to be ruined by modesty.
(Eichmann in Jerusalem, 114p)
