Excerpt from The Moral Aspects of Vivisection

The notion of the extreme tenderness and sensibility of early youth, especially in the male human creature, is almost as purely conventional and remote from experience as the poetic fiction of an English Spring, all sunshine and flowers. That type of cruelty which comes of ignorance and reckless ness alike of their own suffering and that Of others, and wherein Curiosity, not Malice, is the prevailing motive, is at its worst in adolescence; and only as years go by, and observations multiply, and the experience of pain ploughs up the heart, does sympathy grow by slow degrees, till at last, as Sir Arthur Helps has pointed out, it may be predicted with certainty that a jury Of Old men will take the most merciful view of every case brought for their verdict.
