Mortimer Adler Quotes

The complexities of adult life get in the way of the truth.

To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a criminal.
