Howard,

Since you asked for a quotation, I guess I should charge for this!

 From Wikipedia:

The version inscribed at the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston, 
Massachusetts <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston%2C_Massachusetts> reads:

    They came first 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 trade unionists,
    and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Catholics,
    and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant>.

    Then they came for me,
    and by that time no one was left to speak up.
