Man’s Inhumanity to Man Quotes:

"He jests at scars that never felt a wound." William Shakespeare

“We cloak ourselves in cold indifference to the unnecessary suffering of others--even when we cause it.” - James Carroll
=
“What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment & death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment , inflict on his fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose.” Thomas Jefferson (Example: Jews from German death camps have turned the nation of Palestine into a death camp.)

The first time it was reported that our friends were being butchered there was a cry of horror. Then a hundred were butchered. But when a thousand were butchered and there was no end to the butchery, a blanket of silence spread. When evil doing comes like falling rain, nobody calls out 'stop!'

When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable, the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer. - Bertolt Brecht
