“Pain Is Never Ennobling, Only Degrading. And Do Not Be Afraid, Sir, That There Will Ever Be Too Little Of It In The World To Spare Mankind Its "purification". There Will Always Be Human Groans Enough To Fill The Sails Of That Argument. But I Am A Practical Christian. Unlike You, Sir, I Relieve Suffering, Wherever I See It. Your Ladies Would Not Object To Warm Baths, To Mitigate Labour Pains? To Opium? It Is The Same Prinicple.”
