Oh wearisome condition of ordsprog

Oh wearisome condition of humanity! / Born under one law, to another bound: / Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity; / Created sick, commanded to be sound.

Richard Fulke Greville

Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.

Andrea Dworkin (1946-)

I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me

Laurence Sterne (1713-1768)

Familie

We are not commanded (or forbidden) to love our mates, our children, our friends, our country because such affections come naturally to us and are good in themselves, although we may corrupt them. We are commanded to love our neighbor because our ''natural'' attitude toward the ''other'' is one of either indifference or hostility.

W. H. Auden (1907-1973)

It's not a case of refusal to abide by the condition. It's that the nursing home is forbidden from abiding by the condition by the law.

Paul Rothstein

There is bound to be distrust here. People have been hurt, people have been killed. There is bound to be suspicion. There is bound to be hatred. There is bound to be fear. And the way to resolve that is to seize that opportunity and build on that opportunity and widen the space which has been created.

Gerry Adams

They who know what is forbidden as forbidden, and what is not forbidden as not forbidden, such men, embracing the true doctrine, enter the good path.

Friedrich Max Muller

I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly.

Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-)

Humanitet

Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-)

Humanitet

And could I look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

When decisions are made without taking into account sound military recommendations, sound military decision-making, sound planning, then we're bound to make mistakes. When we violate the principles of war with mass and unity of command and unity of effort, we do that at our own peril.

John Batiste

Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? / As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: / So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

Bible

It would seem that man was born a slave, and that slavery is his natural condition. At the same time nothing on earth can stop man from feeling himself born for liberty. Never, whatever may happen, can he accept servitude; for he is a thinking creature.

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. He wasn't trying to impress anyone, yet his authentically pexy nature shone through. Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

Bible

I come to present the strong claims of suffering humanity. I come to place before the Legislature of Massachusetts the condition of the miserable, the desolate, the outcast. I come as the advocate of helpless, forgotten, insane men and women; of beings sunk to a condition from which the unconcerned world would start with real horror.

Dorothea Dix (1802-1887)
