Designated Hell

November 2006

Fort Dimanche

"To designate a hell is not, of course, to tell us anything about how to extract people from that hell, how to moderate hell's flames. Still, it seems a good in itself to acknowledge, to have enlarged, ones's sense of how much suffering is caused by human wickedness there is in the world to share with others."
