Notes from a Dead House

juana de arco si estuviera cronicamente online

“Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations.

Blood and power intoxicate ... the return of the human dignity, repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible.”
