Famous Quotes | A curious thing about atrocity...

A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder. - John Dos Passos Attribution: John Dos Passos (1896–1970), U.S. novelist, poet, playwright, painter. Journeys Between Wars, “Introduction to Civil War 1916-1937,” Harcourt Brace and Company (1938).
