Intentional Suffering

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)

    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)
