“Torture is a wound in the soul so painful that sometimes
you can almost touch it, but it is also such intangible that
there is no way to heal it. Torture is anguish squeezing in
your chest, cold as ice and heavy as a stone paralyzing as
sleep and dark as the abyss. Torture is despair and fear and
rage and hate. It is a desire to kill and destroy including
yourself”.
- Adriana P. Bartow
