"You think human nature is a beast, that it must be put in a cage. But it's the cage that makes the animal bad."

Next Quote

Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. Tyranny is a habit, it has its own organic life, it develops finally into a disease. The habit can kill and coarsen the very best man or woman to the level of a beast. Blood and power intoxicate ... the return of the human dignity, repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible.

— Fyodor Dostoevsky
