Storm Jameson Cruelty Quotations

What I do not know and cannot even hope to understand before I die is why human beings are willfully, coldly, matter-of-factly cruel to each other ... What nerve has atrophied in the torturer, or worse is sensually moved?

Sadistic literature is not only inhumane. It is anti-human.

The strangest thing about life is not its frightful cruelty, but that it can be gentle.
