“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky
Simplified Meaning:
Humans can be much more cruel than animals. Animals never show cruelty in the same clever and intentional way that humans do.
