Caused

Famous quotes containing the word caused:

    Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence.
    John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)

    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)

    ‘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)
