Sontag

“No ‘we’ should be taken for granted when the subject is looking at other people’s pain”.


“One person's 'barbarian' is another person's 'just doing what everybody else is doing.”


“ It is passivity that dulls feeling. The states described as apathy, moral or emotional anesthesia, are full of feelings; the feelings are rage and frustration. ”

Susan Sontag
