Famous quotes containing the words primal and/or pain:
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes ones way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“This horror of pain is a rather low instinct and ... if I think of human beings Ive known and of my own life, such as it is, I cant recall any case of pain which didnt, on the whole, enrich life.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (19031990)
