“More evil gets done in the name of righteousness than any other way.”
- Glen Cook
from Wikipdia:
The Atrocity Exhibition, Ballard admitted in 2007, originated in large part from the sudden death of his first wife Mary from pneumonia:[5]
I was terribly wounded by my wife's death. Leaving me with these very young children, I felt that a crime had been committed by nature against this young woman — and her children — and I was searching desperately for an explanation [...] To some extent The Atrocity Exhibition is an attempt to explain all the terrible violence that I saw around me in the early sixties. It wasn't just the Kennedy assassination [...] I think I was trying to look for a kind of new logic that would explain all these events.
