Mark Twain Quotes

THERE Were Two "Reigns Of Terror," If We Would But Remember It And Consider It; The One Wrought Murder In Hot Passion, The Other In Heartless Cold Blood; The One Lasted Mere Months, The Other Had Lasted A Thousand Years; The One Inflicted Death Upon Ten Thousand Persons, The Other Upon A Hundred Millions; But Our Shudders Are All For The "horrors" Of The Minor Terror, The Momentary Terror, So To Speak; Whereas, What Is The Horror Of Swift Death By The Axe, Compared With Lifelong Death From Hunger, Cold, Insult, Cruelty, And Heart-break? What Is Swift Death By Lightning Compared With Death By Slow Fire At The Stake? A City Cemetery Could Contain The Coffins Filled By That Brief Terror Which We Have All Been So Diligently Taught To Shiver At And Mourn Over; But All France Could Hardly Contain The Coffins Filled By That Older And Real Terror - That Unspeakably Bitter And Awful Terror Which None Of Us Has Been Taught To See In Its Vastness Or Pity As It Deserves.
