She knew half of the correspondents had broken under the excruciating pressure. And the other half who said they had made it, simply lied. She also knew there was a good chance she would too. But it was still worth it. Because if Viola wanted anything approaching a deeper meaning, she knew it existed in moments filled with injustice and cruelty. That’s where true human nature lay for her. Not because of the ferocity itself but because of what came with it, true human heart and compassion. . Piotr Ryczko
About This Quote

She knew half of the correspondents had broken under the excruciating pressure. The other half who said they had made it, simply lied. She also knew that she would too. Viola wanted to experience deep meaning in the cruelty and injustice that was all around her during war times.

She wanted to feel compassion for the people who did wrong to others without giving them a chance to explain themselves. The cruelty and injustice of war make real human nature or what really makes us human. When something bad happens to us without giving us a chance to explain ourselves, we are left struggling with our true human nature.

What makes us human is not the ferocity itself but what comes with it, true human heart and compassion.
