Quotes for: laughter
Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the caveman had known how to laugh, History would have been different.
You shall learn to laugh. Now, all higher humor begins with this, that one no longer takes one's person seriously.
Quotes for: pain
To tolerate is to take upon oneself; a tolerance that comes into being on the backs of others is no longer tolerance. To tolerate the suffering of others, to tolerate an injustice of which we are not a victim or an atrocity that we are spared is not tolerance but selfishness, indifference, or worse.
I have only one passion, that for light, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and which has the right to happiness.
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.
