Famous quotes containing the words intentional and/or suffering:
“... thoughts are a “source of intentionality”Mi.e., nothing would be intentional were it not for the fact that thoughts are intentional.”
—Roderick M. Chisholm (b. 1916)
“... suffering does not ennoble. It destroys. To resist destruction, self-hatred, or lifelong hopelessness, we have to throw off the conditioning of being despised, the fear of becoming the they that is talked about so dismissively, to refuse lying myths and easy moralities, to see ourselves as human, flawed, and extraordinary. All of us—extraordinary.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
