Sick Brother

Famous quotes containing the words sick and/or brother:

    “I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. But one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! For your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Would I if I could by pushing a button would I kill five
    thousand Chinamen if I could save my brother from
    anything. Well I was very fond of my brother and I
    could completely imagine his suffering and I replied
    that five thousand Chinamen was something I could not
    imagine and so it was not interesting. One has to
    remember that about imagination, that is when the
    world gets dull when everybody does not know what
    they can or what they cannot really imagine.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
