Authority allows two roles: the torturer and the tortured. Twists people into joyless mannequins that fear and hate, while culture plunges into the abyss. Alan Moore
Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body's final fall, nor the barrels of death's rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world. Roger Waters
There is no dignity for either the sufferer or the torturer. James Clavell
Just call in at the torturer on your way out. See when he can fit you in. Terry Pratchett
