Quote by Octave Mirbeau

The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-gar

The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden. Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering. – Octave Mirbeau
