In such situations, of course, people don't nurse their anger silently, they moan aloud; but these are not frank, straightforward moans, there is a kind of cunning malice in them, and that's the whole point. Those very moans express the sufferer's delectation; if he did not enjoy his moans, he wouldn't be moaning.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
-

All of humanity is living in a dream world, but suffering real consequences.
Lauryn Hill
Fugees
