Human Disturbance

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or disturbance:

    Why was the human race created? Or at least why wasn’t something creditable created in place of it? God had His opportunity. He could have made a reputation. But no, He must commit this grotesque folly—a lark which must have cost Him a regret or two when He came to think it over and observe effects.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    ...though one can be callous in Ireland one cannot be wholly opaque or material. An unearthly disturbance works in the spirit; reason can never reconcile one to life; nothing allays the wants one cannot explain.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
