    Harriet Beecher Stowe
    “Or I either,” said St. Clare. “The horrid cruelties and outrages that once and a while find their way into the papers,—such cases as Prue’s, for example,—what do they come from?

Whipping and abuse are like laudanum; you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.”
