“The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.

― Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

“There is a line in everything which it is dangerous to overstep; and when it has been overstepped, there is no return.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
