“One of the weaknesses of the European man at the turn of the century has been his inability to believe in the absurd, in horror, in gratuitous crime, in the diabolical. He forgot that certain things, certain horrors, had taken place among us not so long ago, and failed to suspect that they could happen again under a different mask and for different reasons; for with certain horrors, what matters is that they occur. That man—and civilized man at that—has been capable of committing them; the reasons... are invented. (...)
The human condition is such that it is enough to humiliate, ignore, or cause suffering to a single human being—oneself or another—for humanity as a whole to suffer. In every human being are all human beings.”
María Zambrano, Persona y democracia
