The more inhuman we became the more we understood each other as humans.

About This Quote

The more inhuman we became, the more we understood each other as humans. The two images are beautiful. Humanity is an amazing thing, so much so that even when we are doing horrible things to each other, when you really look at the details of what happened no one is really all that different from you or I. While it may be true that when humanity reaches its lowest ebb in terms of violence, hatred, and war it is at its most humane. When humanity is at its most inhuman it is also in its highest state of development.
