“One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.”
Charles Horton Cooley
“Since the creation of the world there has been no tyrant like Intemperance, and no slaves so cruelly treated as his.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“Bound and gagged at Death's Door, One is cruelly beaten, and punished in the Court of the Lord”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
