The more you approach infinity, the deeper you penetrate terror

Life doesn’t stop. And every single second, we’re getting closer to death.

The time has arrived when patience becomes a crime and mayhem appears garbed in a manner of virtue

Evil unchecked grows, evil tolerated poisons the whole system.

A blow that would kill a civilized man soon heals on a savage. The higher we go in the scale of life, the greater is the capacity for suffering.

What I think about vivisection is that if people admit that they have the right to take or endanger the life of living beings for the benefit of many, there will be no limit to their cruelty.

We agreed that many a human life is sacrificed in sudden anger, because one or both the parties carry deadly weapons.

Such thoughts were a hideous testimony to the world he had accepted; a world in which murder was easier than hope.

Civilization flows; culture thickens and coagulates, like tired, sick, stifled blood.

The basis of optimism is sheer terror.

violence doesn't stop merely by saying, 'we'll act based on love', because that can become just an idea that gets absorbed into the system.

Any kind of inhumanity, given practice, becomes human. All the varieties of transgression are buried in the darkness of the world.

...goodness is murdered, mediocrity thrives...

Violence is not only impractical but immoral.
