you didn't give us enough of the quote to know what it's about. What is the entire quotation and what is the context?

Perhaps you are thinking of this quote:\n\n"Massacre, torture, and black despair; / Reading it all in my easy-chair."\n\nThat quotation is from the poem "Theology in Extremis" by Sir Alfred Comyn Lyall (1835-1911).  The poem was first published in 1889.  Hope this helps. :-)

No, the quote you are refering to is speaking about the president of a tobacco company.  It was used in an anti-smoking commercial to show the ignorance of the tobacco industry and the degree to which they have gone to cover up their knowledge of the harmful effects of smoking.

An intelligent web search for this quotation gets thousands of hits, but the first fifty are all either (1) asking the same question as you, or (2) quoting it without giving a source, or (3) giving its source as "anonymous" or "author unknown".  It sounds like a sort of Zen thing to me, a master's reply to an impatient student.
