Aldous Huxley
Image
The people who kill and torture and tell lies in the name of their sacred causes, these are never the publicans and the sinners. No, they're the virtuous, respectable men, who have the finest feelings, the best brains, the noblest ideals.

It’s embarrassing to tell you this, but it seems to come down mostly to just learning to be kinder.
Aldous Huxley
Image
