“And yet this isn't random, this is purposeful. This is studied. This is retribution. There's a kind of violence that is meted out over yers, over generations, a polite and civilized violence made of rules and psychological warfare and catastrophic power imbalances, a quiet violence that arrrives in the night with a gently closed door and a manicured finger to soft lips. That violence is death by a thousand cuts, something almost endurable, no less vicious but a lot less bloody. And then there is a kind of violence that is undeniable, sudden, animalistic, authentic, and final. (Delilah S. Dawson, Guillotine)”
