Famous quotes containing the words authentic and/or human:
“The tension to mother the “right” way can leave a peculiar silence within mother daughter relationships—the silence of a mother’s own truth and experience. Within this silence, a daughter’s authentic voice can also fall silent. This is the silence of perfection. This silence of perfection prevents mothers from listening and learning from their daughters.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
“What can everyone do?—Praise and blame. This is human virtue, this is human madness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
