“To abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accessory to the torture and murder of his victims.”

“The precept: “Judge not, that ye be not judged” . . . is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself.There is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. To abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accessory to the torture and murder of his victims.The moral principle to adopt in this issue, is: “Judge, and be prepared to be judged.”

“the torturer scores a victory over his victim when the latter, in the grip of doubt, begins to torture himself.”

“The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”

“Meat IS murder – but eating vegetables IS slow torture”

“And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness.”
