Some say that it is lack of imagination which makes men and women brutes. May it not be power of imagination? The interest of torturing is lessened, is almost lost, if we can not be the tortured as well as the torturer.
Robert Smythe HichensStichwörter: imagination torture
We are no longer so lacking in fantasy as to uphold the existence of a god.
