Quote by Steven Erikson
Oh, measure it all out! Acceptable levels of misery and suffering!' The cane swung down, thumped hard on the ground. 'Acceptable? Who the fuck says any level is acceptable? What sort of mind thinks that?'Karsa grinned, 'Why, a civilized one.''Indeed!' Shadowthrone turned to Cotillion. 'And you doubted this one!
Summary
In this quote, the character Karsa questions the notion of acceptable levels of suffering and misery, questioning who has the authority to determine what is acceptable and what is not. Karsa criticizes the idea that any level of suffering can be deemed acceptable and argues that only a civilized mind would hold such a belief. This exchange highlights the contrasting perspectives on suffering and raises the question of what criteria are used to define what is "acceptable." Furthermore, it reveals the doubt of one character, Shadowthrone, towards the judgement of another, Cotillion.
