"Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie
so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it. It may
help us to escape all criticism, we may even be able to deceive
ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. But deep down,
below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice
whispering, "There is something not right," no matter how much his
rightness is supported by public opinion or by the moral code." -Carl Jung
"The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbols for hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern." -C.S. Lewis
