The whole underside of our society has always been violence and still is. Churches, laws - everybody seems to think that man is a noble savage. But he's only an animal. A meat-eating, talking animal. Recognize it. He also has grace and love and beauty. But don't say to me we're not violent.
Sam PeckinpahThere is a great streak of violence in every human being. If it is not channeled and understood, it will break out in war or in madness.
