"The healthy man does not torture others..." - Quote by Carl Jung
The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.

“Every human being is inherently a unique and individual form of life. He or she is made like that. But there is something which a person can do over and above the given material of her nature, and that is she can become conscious of what makes her the person she is, and he can work consciously toward relating what is himself to the world around him.”
“Nothing is possible without love.”
“The descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent.”
More on Trauma
“I was raped when I was very young. I told my brother the name of the person who had done it. Within a few days the man was killed. In my child's mind--seven and a half years old--I thought my voice had killed him. So I stopped talking for five years.”
“The young woman who brought me acquainted with Captain Murderer had a fiendish enjoyment of my terrors, and used to begin, I remember - as a sort of introductory overture - by clawing the air with both hands, and uttering a long low hollow groan. So acutely did I suffer from this ceremony in combination with this infernal Captain, that I sometimes used to plead I thought I was hardly strong enough and old enough to hear the story again just yet.”
“Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma.”
More on Abuse
“Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.”
“My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable. As a result, the atmosphere of our home was super-charged with fear because you never knew if what you did would make him mad or not.”
“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”
