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)
