“It is commonly said, and more particularly by Lord Shaftesbury, that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it.

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
“What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
