Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or victims:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”

“The Harmless Torturers. In the Bad Old Days, each torturer inflicted severe pain on one victim. Things have now changed. Each of the thousand torturers presses a button, thereby turning the switch once on each of the thousand instruments. The victims suffer the same severe pain. But none of the torturers makes any victim’s pain perceptibly worse.”
—Derek Parfit (b. 1943)
