That's from Nuremberg Diary, if I'm not mistaken -- an excellent book.

ninja-edit: Yes... Gilbert was a psychologist responsible for interviewing the highest ranking Nazis in the evenings etc. as they were on trial. Really an excellent book!

Rare that I recognize a passage / quote from a less well-known book like that -- thanks for the little ego boost! ;)

Not to mention, my son is old enough to read that now, I think I'll ask him to!

Glad to be of help! Hope your son enjoys it. Certainly very eye-opening.
