All cruel people describe themselves as paragons of frankness.

Deliberate cruelty is unforgivable.

--Blanche Dubois

Some things are not forgiveable. Deliberate cruelty is not forgiveable. It is the most unforgiveable thing in my opinion, and the one thing in which I have never, ever been guilty.

I am the opposite of a stage magician. He gives you illusion that has the appearance of truth. I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion.

It's not cruelty, maybe, but a desire to understand that motivates them.

The business of love iscruelty which,by our wills,we transformto live together.
