Famous quotes containing the words force and/or feeding:
“Misfortunes leave wounds which bleed drop by drop even in sleep; thus little by little they train man by force and dispose him to wisdom in spite of himself. Man must learn to think of himself as a limited and dependent being; and only suffering teaches him this.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you.”
