“The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden…Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.”Octave Mirbeau Garden of Tortures
““Murder is born in love, and love attains the greatest intensity in murder.” (Garden of Tortures)”Octave Mirbeau
“Nature’s constantly screaming with all its shapes and scents: love each other! Love each other! Do as the flowers. There’s only love.”Octave Mirbeau Garden of Tortures
