“Dripping water wears the stone which could not be hammered.”
― A.C. Grayling, The Meaning of Things: Applying Philosophy to Life

“And even though everything had a place, nothing, absolutely nothing, sold like power in the world. Human beings, at their core, were perverted beasts cloaking their true nature with civilization. Give humans a chance to let out their perversions and feel powerful, even momentarily, and they would do anything to do it again, and again, and again, just to experience the high. Some even had the thrill of pretending to be upstanding, upright humans while unleashing their inner selves in secret, another twisted manifestation of power.”
― RuNyx, The Syndicater

“No one is born evil. As Winnicott put it, “A baby cannot hate the mother, without the mother first hating the baby.”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

“If a man has tortured and killed your father, your mother, your sweetheart, in short, one of those beings who leave an eternal emptiness and a perpetually bleeding wound when they are torn from your heart, do you think society has given you sufficient reparation because the blade of the guillotine has passed between the murderer's trapezius and his occipital bone, because the who made you undergo long years of mental and emotional suffering has undergone a few seconds of physical pain?”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
