Quotes by John Berger

Every one must understand that, whatever be the evil of slavery, it is not increased by its diffusion.

Quotes by Jared Diamond

People are fascinated by evil because it's mysterious and it doesn't seem to have a rationale behind it, and the second you say that Hannibal Lector was abducted as a child and he had to eat his sister or something like that, it becomes immediately mundane. The character becomes mundane.

Quotes by Jared Harris
