Oscar Wilde
Ignorance, Community, Public Opinion
Oscar Wilde (2012). “The Wit and Humor of Oscar Wilde”, p.118, Courier Corporation

As one reads history, not in the expurgated editions written for schoolboys and passmen, but in the original authorities of each time, one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.

Punishment, Community, Political
