Human Violence

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or violence:

“No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual’s individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. Whatever its symbol—cross or crescent or whatever—that symbol is man’s reminder of his duty inside the human race.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)

“Who shall measure the heat and violence of the poet’s heart when caught and tangled in a woman’s body?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
