Caused

Famous quotes containing the word caused:

    Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child’s wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.
    Alice Miller (20th century)

    And I could see that child’s one eye
    Which seemed to laugh, and say with glee:
    ‘What caused my death you’ll never know—
    Perhaps my mother murdered me.’

    William Henry Davies (1871–1940)

    ‘Oh the withy, the withy, the bitter withy
    That has caused me to smart,
    The withy shall be the very first tree
    Fort to perish all at the heart.’
    Unknown. The Bitter Withy (l. 31–34)
