“The future is the lie with which we justify the brutality of the present.”
― Anthony Marra, The Tsar of Love and Techno

― Solange nicole

“When men reject reason, they have no means left for dealing with one another — except brute, physical force.”
― Ayn Rand

“It all comes back to one thing... brutality. Compel people into a position where they have to use the brute that's in them in order to live and the brute will waken all right. When the brute is naturally strong in a man - that's the man who becomes the leader of the pressgang. And there you have it. Where all is compulsion and enforcement, it's the bully that rules.”
― Neil M. Gunn

“Such a brute should underneath all his braggart tricks, his viciousness, his vileness, be a coward. But I am convinced that he was not. Because even cowardice requires a certain degree of sensitivity, and a certain value for life.”
― Warren Eyster, The Goblins of Eros

“It dropped ice to the bottom of his stomach. He thought of the ruined bodies he'd seen, including the ones he himself had ruined. He realized that he had somehow expected that he'd never have to think again about the way people damage other people.
The night of the invasion. Kestrel's back. His own. Roshar's scarred face. His own.”
― Marie Rutkoski, The Winner's Kiss

“the revolt against brutality begins with a revolt against the language that hides that brutality.”
― Rebecca Solnit, The Encyclopedia of Trouble and Spaciousness

“If I have never had, or worse yet, I have lost the conviction that life (despite all of the blows it wields and the savagery that it spawns) is nonetheless an incalculable privilege, I will have in that single loss forfeited the whole of my life and effectively wiped out any hope that I can or will do anything other than exist.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Sadistic brutality and mystical feeling go always hand in hand when the normal capacity for orgastic experience is lacking. This was as true of the inquisitors of the medieval church, of the cruel and mystical Philip II of Spain, as it is of any modern mass murderer.”
― Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism

“Eons of suffering, brutality and struggle have paved the way through the corridors of time to create this moment, where you exist as an exalted expression of life.”

― O.S. Hickman

“I said it was a brutal thing.

"No, it was a human thing. You should not insult the brutes by such a misuse of that word; they have not deserved it.”
― Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger

“On the positive side, a strong sense of comradely loyalty triggers genuine affection and friendship. On the negative side, it may strengthen contempt for the lives of opponents and, of course, the loss of a comrade may be followed by even greater brutality in battle.”
― Nel Noddings, Peace Education: How We Come to Love and Hate War

“There is another dangerous component to armed robberies, one that I could never understand. I noticed some time ago that with each robbery I committed there was an intense out of control anger that gripped me. It was as if I was there to get something that was inherently mine, and I came to take it by force. I’ve heard many stories directly from individuals about how they just burst into stores with their guns drawn. They would be shouting at people, gun butting them sometimes for no reason at all. One individual told me that he ran into a store and jump kicked a fella who just stood there. The only reason he was kicked is that he was there.
It’s as if once you’ve overridden your conscience of going through with the act, it is replaced with anger and a level of brutality that is usually reserved for when you are fighting for your life. This, to me, is what makes armed robberies so dangerous—because the slightest provocation or any sudden movement by anyone could lead to them being shot or killed. It is always an extremely delicate and dicey situation, because the armed robber is pulling the trigger out of fear more than anything else.”
― Drexel Deal, The Fight of My Life is Wrapped Up in My Father

“While it is a truism to observe that if humans were angels, law would be unnecessary, we could equally turn the truism around, and note that if humans were devils, law would be pointless. In this sense, the law-making project always presupposes the improvability, if not the perfectibility, of humankind. Whether our view of human nature tends toward Hobbesian grimness or Rousseauian equanimity, we tend to think of law as critical to reducing brutality and violence.”
― Rosa Brooks, How Everything Became War and the Military Became Everything: Tales from the Pentagon

“Only small men parade their learning, talk over their audience and air their superior knowledge. Only brutal men throw their strength about, and vain rich men display their wealth in ostentatious useless luxuries.”
― John Myer, John Myer: A Collection of his Sermons and Writing, #1

“All forms of dire poverty and brutality were things to forbid as insults to the fair body of mankind, every injustice a false note to avoid in the harmony of the spheres.”
― Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

“Keistas daiktas ta fizinė persvara. Ji be galo primityvi ir neturi nieko bendro su drąsa arba vyriškumu. Revolveris kokio nors luošio rankoje — ir jų kaip nebūta. Fizinė persvara priklauso tik nuo raumenų svorio, tačiau vis tiek jautiesi pažemintas, kai susiduri su jos brutalia jėga. Kiekvienas supranta, kad tikrasis vyriškumas — visai kas kita, kad įžūlus raumenų kalnas tikro pavojaus akivaizdoje tikriausiai gėdingai paspruktų. Vis dėlto mes visada bandome aiškintis, jaučiamės kalti ir sugėdinti, kad nesileidome suluošinami.”
― Erich Maria Remarque

“& everywhere he observed that casual brutality lighter races show the darker.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“Well, do you suppose I made up my mind then that what I had seen was something sickening? Not a bit of it. 'If it was done with such assurance and everyone thought it was necessary, then they must have known something I didn't,' was what I thought, and I tried to find out what it was. But I couldn't, no matter how hard I exerted myself. And since I couldn't, I couldn't join the army as I'd planned to, and not only did I not join the army, I couldn't find a place for myself anywhere in society, and ended up being no good for anything, as you can see.
'Oh yes, we know all about how you're no good for anything,' said one of us, 'But tell us: how many men would be no good for anything if it weren't for the likes of you?”
― Leo Tolstoy, After the Ball

“Brute force will sometimes get you through a challenge, but usually not without hurting and depleting yourself in the process.”

“Brutality sets you free from fear but puts you a against the law and everyone else.”

“Our world needs brutality and cruelty to sustain its equality and justice. Without it, handsome guys and beautiful ladies will fuck everyone they want. And we all ugly people will wait holding our dicks in our hands.”
― M.F. Moonzajer, LOVE, HATRED AND MADNESS

“Today was the day to win again, Javlei held his axe in hand he had killed many people with it he didn't care that he had blood on his hands. He had won the STEDFARST races every year so far by being ruthless butchering other racers as he went.”
― Charon Lloyd-Roberts, SCATHE

“Und wenn ich morgens auf meinem aus dem georgischen Dorf Besch-taschen stammenden Gebetsteppich knie, lasse ich den zahnlosen Bischof wieder aufleben, der ein enthäutetes, noch blutendes, aber ausgeweidetes Lamm mit einer Auferstehungsfahne dreimal im Zeichen des Kreuzes in die Höhe hebt und schreit: Hitler von Nazareth, König der Juden! denn ich habe so einen Haß auf die Katholische Kirche, daß ich am liebsten mit einer Kirchturmspitze aufs Herzjesu zulaufen möchte.”
― Josef Winkler, Leichnam, seine Familie belauernd.

“В 1941 году мы эвакуировались. А потом вернулись [в Запорожье] в ноябре 1945 года. Когда приехали, это был сплошь разрушенный город, одни только руины. И мальчишки моего возраста (к чему я был совершенно не готов) играли в этих руинах в войну. Кидали друг в друга кирпичами, если кто попадал — очень радовался. Это дети войны. Когда война идет, все звереют. И взрослые, и дети. И дети играли в такие зверские игры.”
― Владимир Войнович

“- I didn't seduce her! OK, I didn't know exactly what I was doing. It seemed like fun and then... well, THAT happened. - said Ronnie. - It wasn't intentional. I did it for shits and giggles, alright? We never had sex. She was mortified at the thought of losing her job, but I told her that I wouldn't tell anyone.
- Well... you just did. - said Tyler.
- You two aren't just "anyone". That's the difference. - said Ronnie and resumed his task... until his ears caught a disturbing row of cries for help.
- What kind of language is that? - Tyler asked.
- It's... Hindi. Urdu, to be specific. - Ronnie answered.
- How the fuck do you know? - Tyler asked.
- Just found it out. - answered Ronnie.
- Well, where does that lead us? - asked Tyler once again.
- Pakistan. - said Garret.
- We're not going there saving Muslims from the clutches of radical Islam and fighting for human rights, are we? - said Tyler.
- No, obviously. But if their lives are in danger, we'll help. Not because some non-governmental organisation is obsessed with political correctness and equal rights, but because they don't deserve to die just because some delusional maniac decided to play God with their fate. - said Ronnie.”
