Torture Quotes - Page 4

• Usted debe entender, los principales bolcheviques que se apoderaron de Rusia no eran rusos. Odiaban a los rusos. Odiaban a los cristianos. Impulsados por el odio étnico torturaron y masacraron a millones de rusos sin una pizca de remordimiento humano. No se puede exagerar. El bolchevismo cometió la mayor matanza humana de todos los tiempos. El hecho de que la mayor parte del mundo sea ignorante e indiferente ante este enorme crimen es prueba de que los medios de comunicación mundiales están en manos de los perpetradores.

  Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

• George W. Bush legalized torture, but Obama is legalizing impunity. He promised to roll stuff back, but he is institutionalizing these things forever. It is terrifying and the left doesn't seem to recognize it.

• People ask, "What could possibly cause a normal person to torture her own child?" Well, the answer is: Nothing could cause a normal person to torture their own child. The reason that we see that happening is that there are people who don't care, who don't love - even their own children.

• Many of the soldiers suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and have not been supported by the government when they've requested psychological help. Of course, the prisoners continue to suffer physically and psychologically. Much needs to be done - torture has a negative impact on everyone it touches, including us, Americans, as a nation.

• Un espantoso éxtasis de miedo y venganza, un deseo de matar, de torturar, de romper caras a mazazos, parecía fluir por todo el grupo de gente como una corriente eléctrica, convirtiendo a uno incluso contra su voluntad en un lunático que hacía muecas y gritaba. Y, sin embargo, la rabia que uno sentía era una emoción abstracta, no dirigida, que podía pasar de un objeto a otro como la llama de un soplete.

• Is it not a rather fantastic historical irony that the torture techniques that the North Vietnamese used against McCain that forced him to offer a videotaped false confession are now the techniques the Bush administration is using to gain "intelligence" about terror networks. How is it possible to know that everything John McCain once said on videotape for the enemy was false, because it was coerced, and yet assert that everything we torture out of terror suspects using exactly the same techniques is true?

• If it is true that only misfortune can awaken a man's soul, it is a bitter truth, one that is hard to hear and accept, and it is only natural that many people deny it and say it is better for a man to live on in a trance than to wake up to torture.

  Máximo Gorki

• Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day. The housewife wears herself out marking time: she makes nothing, simply perpetuates the present … Eating, sleeping, cleaning – the years no longer rise up towards heaven, they lie spread out ahead, grey and identical. The battle against dust and dirt is never won.

  Simone de Beauvoir

• Hay momentos en que tienes que obedecer una llamada que es la más alta de todas, es decir, la voz de la conciencia, aunque tal obediencia pueda costar muchas lágrimas amargas, y aún más, la separación de los amigos, de la familia, del Estado, al que puedes pertenecer, de todo lo que has considerado tan querido como la vida misma. Porque esta obediencia es la ley de nuestro ser.

• No sé nada sobre la tortura. Me he educado en muchas cosas pero en tortura no he sabido el límite entre lo que es tortura y lo que no es tortura. Sé que la ANR ata a esta gente (rebeldes, etc.) cuando los atrapan. Les atan las manos al revés. Ahora me dicen que eso es tortura. Es el método tradicional.

• Let us be today's Christians. Let us not take fright at the boldness of today's church. With Christ's light let us illuminate even the most hideous caverns of the human person: torture, jail, plunder, want, chronic illness. The oppressed must be saved, not with a revolutionary salvation, in mere human fashion, but with the holy revolution of the Son of Man, who dies on the cross to cleanse God's image, which is soiled in today's humanity, a humanity so enslaved, so selfish, so sinful.

• It is difficult to put into words what I suffered-the longing that seemed to be tearing my heart out by the roots, the dreadful sense of being alone in an empty universe, the agonies that thrilled through me as if the blood were running ice-cold through my veins, the disgust with living, the impossibility of dying. Shakespeare himself never described this torture; but he counts it, in Hamlet, among the terrible of all the evils of existence. I had stopped composing; my mind seemed to become feebler as my feelings grew more intense. I did nothing. One power was left to me-to suffer.

  Hector Berlioz

• Para un psicoanalista, una mujer piloto, sobre todo casada y con hijos, debe resultar un tema tan interesante como inagotable. Desgarrada entre dos amores, emocionalmente confusa, el deseo de volar una enfermedad incurable que devora su vida en la lenta tortura de la frustración, no puede ser una personalidad simple y natural.

• En nombre de la religión, se tortura, se persigue, se construyen piras. En nombre de las ideologías, se masacra, se tortura y se mata. En nombre de la justicia se castiga... en nombre del amor al propio país o a la propia raza se odia a otros países, se les desprecia, se les masacra. En nombre de la igualdad y la fraternidad se reprime y tortura. No hay nada en común entre los medios y el fin, los medios van mucho más allá del fin...las ideologías y la religión...son las coartadas de los medios.
