Souls

Famous quotes containing the word souls:

    “The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom “charitable” souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Great conversation ... requires an absolute running of two souls into one.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Those children who are beaten will in turn give beatings, those who are intimidated will be intimidating, those who are humiliated will impose humiliation, and those whose souls are murdered will murder.”
    —Alice Miller (20th century)
