Vulnerable

Famous quotes containing the word vulnerable:

    Presumption is our natural and original malady. The most vulnerable and frail of all creatures is man, and at the same time the most arrogant.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    The ordinary man is as courageous and invulnerable as a hero when he does not recognize any danger, when he has no eyes to see it. Conversely, the hero’s only vulnerable spot is on his back, and so exactly where he has no eyes.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The walking of girls’ vulnerable feet,
    The heart in its own endless silence kneeling.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
