Cruelty signifies rigor, implacable intention and decision, irreversible and absolute determination.
Antonin ArtaudWe do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.
Antonin ArtaudThere are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.
