Human Suffering

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or suffering:

“The human body is the best picture of the human soul.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

“My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
