Human empathy, while not found on any chart of human anatomy, is the reason we instinctively hurt for our children... it is the reason that one human being's intensely personal tests and triumphs can be harnessed to the good of countless others.

I think men should be able to veto women's abortions if they're willing to care for the child after it's born.

But insight doesn't necessarily produce self-control. Sometimes you just see your destructiveness more clearly.

A jealous husband is an ugly thing.

People react predictably, especially when they don't have time to think.

The roots of any evil deed can be traced to the perpetrator's refusal to experience pain.

We are, all of us, crippled and twisted. Most of us strive desperately to keep our grotesqueries out of sight and mind. Our suffering is transformed by an alchemy of the soul into addiction, ulcers, strokes, hatred, even war.
