If it bleeds, we can kill it.

In moments of pain, we seek revenge.

I'm very ticklish. They say being tickled is a form of torture.

I really believe that if we were from another planet, and we sat down to put our heads together on torture experiments, the concept of sticking a needle into someone and sucking their blood out would probably qualify as a pretty good one.

We are taught that revenge is strong and compassion is weak. We are taught that power is more important than love.

Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you.

We are not the only animal that mourns; apes do, and elephants, and dogs. Yet we are the only one that tortures.

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

Bite us once, shame on the dog; bite us repeatedly, shame on us for allowing it.

We have to be aware of our fragilities as human beings - when we see cruelty, to understand that in certain conditions, we could be cruel, too.
