“Injustice is censured because the censures are afraid of suffering, and not from any fear which they have of doing injustice.”

Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human“It follows that the one thing we should not do to the men and women of past time, and particularly if they ghost through to us as larger than life, is to take them out of their historical contexts. To do so is to run the risk of turning them into monsters, whom we can denounce for our (frequently political) motives—an insidious game, because we are condemning in their make-up that which is likely to belong to a whole social world, the world that helped to fashion them and that is deviously reflected or distorted in them. Censure of this sort is the work of petty moralists and propagandists, not historians (p. 5).”
Lauro Martines, Fire in the City: Savonarola and the Struggle for Renaissance Florence“You censure this with difficulty because you have allowed it to become customary.”
St. Jerome“Some men are more easily broken by kindness than censure.”

Avery Flynn, Trouble on Tap“Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offence which they have so fiercely censured.”
Sri Aurobindo
