Humiliating Quotes - Page 4

• Most adults would not dream of belittling, humiliating, or bullying (verbally or physically) another adult. But many of the same adults think nothing of treating their adolescent child like a nonperson. . . . Adolescents deserve the same civility their parents routinely extend to total strangers.

• Es suficientemente humillante para nuestra naturaleza reflexionar que nuestro conocimiento no es más que un riachuelo, nuestra ignorancia como el mar. En puntos del más alto interés, en el momento en que abandonemos la luz de la revelación encontraremos que el platonismo mismo está íntimamente conectado con el pirronismo, y la más profunda investigación con la más oscura duda.

  Charles Caleb Colton

• I don't think losing things - in my case, the use of my legs - really damages or hurts you. What hurts people a lot is taking humiliation. A lot of the wars going on right now in the Middle East aren't about poverty and exploitation. They're about humiliation. For a long time, the British and French have been humiliating the people of the Middle East, and encouraging people like Israel to do the same. Israel started out as a socialist state, but we always encouraged them to become rather racist and look down on the local inhabitants, which they now do. It's sad that's happened.

• No puedo ver los rizos cortos y blancos sobre la frente de un buey, pero los veo gotear con la sangre de esa pobre criatura, y oigo el hacha; cuando veo terneros y corderos, los veo llevados a la muerte; no veo ningún pájaro o conejo cruzar el campo abierto, pero oigo un disparo repentino; un grito que me dice que los hombres apuntan con certeza, para matar o herir, me deja helado. W.H. Davies He estado estudiando los rasgos y disposiciones de los "animales inferiores" (así llamados) y contrastándolos con los rasgos y disposiciones del hombre. El resultado me parece humillante.

• A painter must not only be of necessity an imitator of the works of nature... but he must be as necessarily an imitator of the works of other painters. This appears more humiliating, but is equally true; and no man can be an artist, whatever he may suppose, upon any other terms.

• As a kid, I was terrified. I was a bed wetter and I had to go to sleepaway camp every summer, which was humiliating and terrifying. I had lots of insecurities and scaredness. I covered it with being funny and tough, but it's hard to be tough when you're making your cot in your bunk over soaking wet sheets and acting like nobody can smell anything.

• I mean, I'm always happy if I have, like, humiliating asshole things that I did. I think: Oh good, that's a good story. Because if you write about humiliating asshole things other people do it doesn't work as well. I mean, you can, but you can get away with it better if you talk about what an asshole you are. It's much easier.
