Re: "Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens."
Quote:
 If I had to guess, I would say that it's an analogy of our dreaming, particularly a nightmare. When we loose our humanity if even for a moment, we are capable of many nightmarish things that can haunt people directly or even indirectly until someone reestablishes the humanity that will undo the inhumane acts. or something like that
