Stevie Smith Quotes

But Human Beings Must Suffer, And Must Make Suffering For Themselves, And Beat Themselves Up Into Spiritual Frenzies, And Oh Death And Desolation, And Oh Night Space And Horror, And Oh Keep My Dream From Me. And How Very Splendid It Is That We Can Do All This To Ourselves And Have Such A Splendid And Really Ingenious Gift For Inflicting Suffering Upon Ourselves. For Suffering And Strain Are The Gauge Of Life, And Who Wishes To Live Like A Vegetable?
But Sometimes Suffering Measures Life And Ends It. And Then It Is Not Good At All. And Between Two People Without Knowing It A Love May Grow Up, And A Link May Form, And No One Knows Or Guesses.
