Victimization Quotes (page 10)

There’s no accountability anymore, Pierce, no one holds anyone accountable for what they do. It’s always someone else’s fault. Usually people just blame the victim. Meg Cabot
It is a Bush administration official on the moment when torture breaks a victim: The job of the interrogator is to safely help the terrorist do his duty to Allah, so he then feels liberated to speak freely. From Neil Gaiman's account of a torturer in hell: We will hurt you. And we are not sorry. But we do not do it to punish you. We do it to redeem you. Because afterward, you'll be a better person ... and because we love you. One day you'll thank us for it. War is peace. Torture is freedom.... Andrew Sullivan
Once upon a time black male “cool” was defined by the ways in which black men confronted hardships of life without allowing their spirits to be ravaged. They took the pain of it and used it alchemically to turn the pain into gold. That burning process required high heat. Black male cool was defined by the ability to withstand the heat and remain centered. It was defined by black male willingness to confront reality, to face the truth, and bear it not by adopting a false pose if cool while... Bell Hooks
Maya Angelou quote: "Whining is not only graceless, but it can be dangerous. It..."
Whining is not only graceless, but it can be dangerous. It can alert a brute that a victim is in the neighborhood. Maya Angelou
The cannon thunders...limbs fly in all directions...one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice...it's Humanity in search of happiness Charles Baudelaire
Carl Jung quote: "Man is much more the victim of his psychic constitution than..."
Man is much more the victim of his psychic constitution than its inventor. Carl Jung
Man is brilliant at solving problems; but solving them only makes him the victim of his own childishness and laziness. It is this recognition that has made almost every major philosopher in history a pessimist. Colin Wilson
We do not admire, we hardly excuse, the fanatic who wrecks this world for love of the other. But what are we to say of the fanatic who wrecks this world out of hatred of the other? He sacrifices the very existence of humanity to the non-existence of God. He offers his victims not to the altar, but merely to assert the idleness of the altar and the emptiness of the throne. He is ready to ruin even that primary ethic by which all things live, for his strange and eternal vengeance upon some one... Gilbert K. Chesterton
I only wanted to suggest to you that self-sacrifice is a passion so overwhelming that beside it even lust and hunger are trifling. It whirls its victim to destruction in the highest affirmation of his personality. No wine is so intoxicating, no love so shattering, no vice so compelling. When he sacrifices himself, man for a moment is greater than God, for how can God, infinite and omnipotent, sacrifice himself? At best he can only sacrifice his only begotten son. W. Somerset Maugham
Marilyn Manson quote: "Take your hatred out on me, Make your victim my neck"
Take your hatred out on me, Make your victim my neck Marilyn Manson
As the many male victims of rape in the regime's disgusting jails can testify, this state-run pathology of sexual repression and sexual sadism is not content to degrade women only. Christopher Hitchens
William Goldman quote: "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most..."
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia. William Goldman
Philip K. Dick quote: "In a civil war… every side is wrong. It’s hopeless to try to..."
In a civil war… every side is wrong. It’s hopeless to try to untangle it. Everyone is a victim. Philip K. Dick
And in such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners. Howard Zinn
Eighth grade's a distant rumor, a tabled issue, and Dylan knows from experience that the summer between might change anything, everything. He and Mingus Rude too and even Arthur Lomb for that matter are released from the paint-by-numbers page of their schooldays, from their preformatted roles as truant or victim, freed to an unspoiled summer, that inviting medium for doodling in self-transformation. Jonathan Lethem
