An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON VICTIMS
Sympathy for victims is always counter-balanced by an equal and opposite feeling of resentment towards them.
Ben Elton (1959-, British author, performer)
Once victim, always victim -- that's the law!
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928, British novelist, poet)
Don't agonize. Organize.
Florynce R. Kennedy
Victims suggest innocence. And innocence, by the inexorable logic that governs all relational terms, suggests guilt.
Susan Sontag (1933-, American essayist)
When a man's life is destroyed or damaged by some wound or privation of soul or body, which is due to other men's actions or negligence, it is not only his sensibility that suffers but also his aspiration toward the good. Therefore there has been sacrilege towards that which is sacred in him.
Simone Weil (1910-1943, French philosopher, mystic)
