Text Quotes
Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction  (Torture Quotes) There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever  (Torture Quotes) The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn’t even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions  (Torture Quotes) I cannot love anyone if I hate myself. That is the reason why we feel so extremely uncomfortable in the presence of people who are noted for their special virtuousness, for they radiate an atmosphere of the torture they inflict on themselves. That is not a virtue but a vice  (Torture Quotes) For those for whom the sex act has come to seem mechanical and merely the meeting and manipulation of body parts, there often remains a hunger which can be called metaphysical but which is not recognized as such, and which seeks satisfaction in physical danger, or sometimes in torture, suicide, or murder  (Torture Quotes) I maintain the importance of an absolute prohibition against torture, while acknowledging that even absolute prohibitions can sometimes be broken. If that is a contradiction, it is a contradiction that ethics has to embrace, or else it becomes like glass: hard, clear, but fatally inflexible  (Torture Quotes) Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free  (Torture Quotes) The more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers most  (Torture Quotes) The writer is both a sadist and a masochist. We create people we love, and then we torture them. The more we love them, and the more cleverly we torture them along the lines of their greatest vulnerability and fear, the better the story. Sometimes we try to protect them from getting booboos that are too big. Don’t. This is your protagonist, not your kid  (Torture Quotes) There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman  (Torture Quotes) Someday someone will write a pathology of experimental physics and bring to light all those swindles which subvert our reason, beguile our judgement and, what is worse, stand in the way of any practical progress. The phenomena must be freed once and for all from their grim torture chamber of empiricism, mechanism, and dogmatism; they must be brought before the jury of man’s common sense  (Torture Quotes) A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp  (Torture Quotes) How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master’s bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done  (Torture Quotes) The sickness rolled through me in great waves. After each wave it would fade away and leave me limp as a wet leaf and shivering all over and then I would feel it rising up in me again, and the glittering white torture chamber tiles under my feet and over my head and all four sides closed in and squeezed me to pieces  (Torture Quotes) This is a day on which we pay our respects to those who have endured the unimaginable. This is an occasion for the world to speak up against the unspeakable. It is long overdue that a day be dedicated to remembering and supporting the many victims and survivors of torture around the world  (Torture Quotes) Making sure that when my child went to school people were enlightened enough not to torture them, you know?  (Torture Quotes) No one has the right to ignite a war and lead an occupation and armies to conquer people, invading them and make them suffer all kinds of torture, murder, expulsion, displacement, bombing and terrorism by different lethal prohibited weapons and then come and speak as the savior of the people or a defender of their rights  (Torture Quotes) ... I could not say honestly today that this administration does not believe in torture, does not engage in torture  (Torture Quotes) Thy words are like a cloud of winged snakes; and yet I pity those they torture not  (Torture Quotes) Stop threatening me... I’ve lived in terror and I’ve come out of it. Kill me or not, torture me or not, it doesn’t matter to me. Just decide what to do  (Torture Quotes) Who shrinks from knowledge of his calamities but aggravates his fear; troubles half seen do torture all the more  (Torture Quotes) No stranger can get a great many notes of torture out of a human soul; it takes one that knows it well, parent, child, brother, sister, intimate  (Torture Quotes) That anxious torture may I never feel, which doubtful, watches over a wandering heart. O, who that bitter torment can reveal, or tell the pining anguish of that smart!  (Torture Quotes) Every man should study conciseness in speaking; it is a sign of ignorance not to know that long speeches, though they may please the speaker, are the torture of the hearer  (Torture Quotes) That’s the greatest torture souls feel in hell, in hell, that they must live, and cannot die  (Torture Quotes) The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him  (Torture Quotes) Oh, you ask me, what is the greatest torture of a person who does portraits for a living? I could fill several volumes with nice nasty stories. I don’t know  (Torture Quotes) It is also asserted that the election settled the matters of the war and the torture of prisoners. These are dead issues that no longer need be addressed  (Torture Quotes) It is not an opinion that enhanced interrogation techniques are torture. It is a legal fact. And it is also a legal fact that the president is a war criminal  (Torture Quotes) Consciousness is an end in itself. We torture ourselves getting somewhere, and when we get there it is nowhere, for there is nowhere to get to  (Torture Quotes)
