Quotes by Will Eaves (?)

“Pain is memory with witness or corroboration. It isn't real to anyone else, and that is what allows torturers, including governments, to be torturers. They can pretend it isn't happening because it isn't happening to them.”
― Will Eaves, Murmur

tags: goverment, goverment-abuse, memory, pain, torture

“It is not hatred that turns the majority against the minority, but intuitive shame.”
― Will Eaves, Murmur

“We agree not to look. It is a simple but profound contract of the collective subconscious with the truth. If you speak the truth, or do something which indicates how human beings function, regardless of the law, regardless of moral superstition, then people will turn against you, and you must never underestimate how fearful and weak most people in a large body, like a government, or a university, or even an office, actually are. Once you have been isolated in this way, you can be dismissed.”
― Will Eaves, Murmur
