Severe Lip Twitching

Famous quotes containing the words severe, lip and/or twitching:

“The Harmless Torturers. In the Bad Old Days, each torturer inflicted severe pain on one victim. Things have now changed.

But none of the torturers makes any victim’s pain perceptibly worse.”
—Derek Parfit (b. 1943)
