My kind of nightmare quote is from Deborah Tolman, who does research on girls and desire and is, I think, brilliant.

What distinguishes genocide from murder, and even from acts of political murder that claim as many victims, is the intent. The crime is wanting to make a people extinct. The idea is the crime.
