Quote by Henry Miller
Man torturing man is a fiend beyond description. You turn a corner

Man torturing man is a fiend beyond description. You turn a corner in the dark and there he is. You congeal into a bundle of inanimate fear. You become the very soul of anesthesia. But there is no escaping him. It is your turn now… – Henry Miller
