"There are sorrows that are not painful, but are of the nature of some acids, and give piquancy and flavor to life."

Previous Quote

Cruelty was the devil, and most people were, in one way or another, cruel. Tyranny, suppression, persecution, torture, slavery, war, neglect - all were cruel. The world was acid and sour with hate, fat with greed, yellow with the triumph of the strong and the rich.
