“What we called "polite society", I felt, was actually a thin skin stretched over the rotting corpse of what used to be a moral framework. Once there had been goodness and kindness and respect for other human beings beneath that facade. Now there was only a writhing mass of maggots and filth.” — Evelyn M. Lewis
