![Humiliating Quotes By Sigmund Freud Humiliating Quotes By Sigmund Freud](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-sigmund-freud-557337.jpg)
The ordinary man cannot imagine this Providence in any other form but that of a greatly exalted father, for only such a one could understand the needs of the sons of men, or be softened by their prayers and placated by the signs of their remorse. The whole thing is so patently infantile, so incongruous with reality, that to one whose attitude to humanity is friendly it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life. It is even more humiliating to discover what a large number of those alive today, who must see that this religion is not tenable, yet try to defend it inch by inch, as if with a series of pitiable rearguard actions. — Sigmund Freud

Black
![Humiliating Quotes By Maya Angelou Humiliating Quotes By Maya Angelou](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-maya-angelou-89252.jpg)
If on Judgement Day I were summoned by St. Peter to give testimony to the used-to-be sheriff's act of kindness, I would be unable to say anything in his behalf. His confidence that my uncle and every other Black man who heard of the Klan's coming ride would scurry under their houses to hide in chicken droppings was too humiliating to hear. Without waiting for Momma's thanks, he rode out of the yard, sure that things were as they should be and that he was a gentle squire, saving those deserving serfs from the laws of the land, which he condoned. — Maya Angelou
![Humiliating Quotes By Joseph G. Peterson Humiliating Quotes By Joseph G. Peterson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-joseph-g-peterson-376997.jpg)
The bus was crowded, standing room only, and he clung apelike from a bar that hung down from the ceiling. It was humiliating to be packed in with all these people; it reminded him of a cattle car or worse, a sardine can, or worse...but what could be worse than this? — Joseph G. Peterson
![Humiliating Quotes By Henry Flynt Humiliating Quotes By Henry Flynt](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-henry-flynt-407359.jpg)
I began demonstrating against serious culture. In hindsight, the actual course of events has been very humiliating for me, because no one picked up on the intellectual critique I made. — Henry Flynt
![Humiliating Quotes By Christian Slater Humiliating Quotes By Christian Slater](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-christian-slater-121652.jpg)

![Humiliating Quotes By Arenda L. Wright Allen Humiliating Quotes By Arenda L. Wright Allen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-arenda-l-wright-allen-291175.jpg)
Of course the welfare of our children is a legitimate state interest. However, limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples fails to further this interest. Instead, needlessly stigmatizing and humiliating children who are being raised by the loving couples targeted by Virginia's Marriage Laws betrays that interest. E. S.-T. [the 15-year-old daughter of two of the plaintiffs], like the thousands of children being raised by same-sex couples, is needlessly deprived of the protection, the stability, the recognition and the legitimacy that marriage conveys ... — Arenda L. Wright Allen
![Humiliating Quotes By Sarah Waters Humiliating Quotes By Sarah Waters](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-sarah-waters-217785.jpg)
I had loved Kitty -I would always love Kitty. But I had lived with her a kind of queer half-life, hiding from my own true self. Since then I had refused to love at all, had become - or so I thought - a creature beyond passion, driving others to their secret, humiliating confessions of lust; but never offering my own. — Sarah Waters
![Humiliating Quotes By Joseph Stilwell Humiliating Quotes By Joseph Stilwell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-joseph-stilwell-360261.jpg)
I claim we got a hell of a beating. We got run out of Burma and it is as humiliating as hell. I think we ought to find out what caused it, go back and retake it. — Joseph Stilwell
![Humiliating Quotes By Lucas Till Humiliating Quotes By Lucas Till](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-lucas-till-356366.jpg)
I'm not a big fan of guitar face. You know, when someone's playing guitar, and they make this really embarrassing face, like they smush their lips together and ... they look you in the eye and it's really humiliating. You know some people have that really embarrassing guitar face? I remember thinking about this when I was doing the DJing, because ... you do have to focus, and that's what happens, it's your focus face. But you're in a movie, so you should probably lock it up. — Lucas Till
![Humiliating Quotes By Rick Riordan Humiliating Quotes By Rick Riordan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-rick-riordan-318592.jpg)
Okay. But ... go easy. We don't want another Albania." "No," Reyna agreed. Their first shadow-travel experience together, two days ago, had been a total fiasco, possibly the most humiliating episode in Reyna's long career. Perhaps someday, if they survived, they would look back on it and laugh, but not now. The three of them had agreed never to speak of it. What happened in Albania would stay in Albania. — Rick Riordan
![Humiliating Quotes By Slavoj Zizek Humiliating Quotes By Slavoj Zizek](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-slavoj-zizek-452799.jpg)
A dispassionate conceptual development of the typology of violence must by definition ignore its traumatic impact. Yet there is a sense in which a cold analysis of violence somehow reproduces and participates in its horror. A distinction needs to be made, as well, between (factual) truth and truthfulness: what renders a report of a raped woman (or any other narrative of a trauma) truthful is its very factual unreliability, its confusion, its inconsistency. If the victim were able to report on her painful and humiliating experience in a clear manner, with all the data arranged in a consistent order, this very quality would make us suspicious of its truth. — Slavoj Zizek
![Humiliating Quotes By Rebecca West Humiliating Quotes By Rebecca West](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-rebecca-west-148536.jpg)
She understood children, and knew that they were adults handicapped by a humiliating disguise and had their adult qualities within them. — Rebecca West

I became one of those anonymous Americans who tries to keep his mind sharp and inquisitive while performing all the humiliating rituals of the middle class — Pat Conroy
![Humiliating Quotes By April Winchell Humiliating Quotes By April Winchell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-april-winchell-117737.jpg)
Like every aspect of cancer I've weathered thus far, today's experience was not at all demoralizing, expensive or humiliating. No, it was just plain fun. — April Winchell
![Humiliating Quotes By Ben Aaronovitch Humiliating Quotes By Ben Aaronovitch](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-ben-aaronovitch-539239.jpg)

![Humiliating Quotes By Vladimir Nabokov Humiliating Quotes By Vladimir Nabokov](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-vladimir-nabokov-566499.jpg)
If he failed the first time he took his driver's licence test, it was mainly because he started an argument with the examiner in an ill-timed effort to prove that nothing could be more humiliating to a rational creature than being required to encourage the development of a base conditional reflex by stopping at a red light when there was not an earthly soul around, heeled or wheeled. He was more circumspect the next time, and passed ... — Vladimir Nabokov
![Humiliating Quotes By Steven Pinker Humiliating Quotes By Steven Pinker](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-steven-pinker-171656.jpg)
No small part in the new awareness of the horrors of genocide was a willingness of Holocaust survivors to tell their stories. Chalk and Jonassohn note that these memoirs are historically unusual.146 Survivors of earlier genocides had treated them as humiliating defeats and felt that talking about them would only rub in history's harsh verdict. With the new humanitarian sensibilities, genocides became crimes against humanity, and survivors were witnesses for the prosecution. — Steven Pinker
![Humiliating Quotes By Frank Pittman Humiliating Quotes By Frank Pittman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-frank-pittman-580797.jpg)
Early on, girls begin to menstruate, which is dramatic but not obvious to their playmates. They grow taller and rounder, but underneath their makeup they are still recognizably themselves. For boys it is far more disorienting. Puberty comes later, sometimes much later, and its delay is humiliating. While the tall round girls are getting themselves up like grown women, the prepubertal boys, with their featureless, hairless bodies, are just dirty little kids who could pass for the children of the hypermature girls. — Frank Pittman
![Humiliating Quotes By Ilka Chase Humiliating Quotes By Ilka Chase](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-ilka-chase-521637.jpg)
Art, we are told, is a criterion of one's taste. How humiliating, should our taste turn out to be bad. Rather as though we were caught stark naked with a poor figure. — Ilka Chase
![Humiliating Quotes By Amanda Burton Humiliating Quotes By Amanda Burton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-amanda-burton-577646.jpg)
I could suddenly see the pressures all around; these endless magazines and cheap reality TV programmes poking at women, humiliating us for every flaw. It makes me so angry. I really wonder what it is we are doing to ourselves, because I do think women can be the worst ones for picking each other apart. — Amanda Burton
![Humiliating Quotes By Angela Davis Humiliating Quotes By Angela Davis](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-angela-davis-155250.jpg)
It is both humiliating and humbling to discover that a single generation after the events that constructed me as a public personality, I am remembered as a hairdo. — Angela Davis
![Humiliating Quotes By David Lubar Humiliating Quotes By David Lubar](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-david-lubar-410314.jpg)
A kid might help another kid who fell into a river, and a kid might help another kid search for a lost baseball, but there isn't a kid I've met who will help another kid out of a humiliating situation. We just aren't built that way. — David Lubar
![Humiliating Quotes By Daniel Silva Humiliating Quotes By Daniel Silva](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-daniel-silva-143984.jpg)
IT SEEMS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE, but there was once a time when human beings did not feel the need to share their every waking moment with hundreds of millions, even billions, of complete and utter strangers. If one went to a shopping mall to purchase an article of clothing, one did not post minute-by-minute details on a social networking site; and if one made a fool of oneself at a party, one did not leave a photographic record of the sorry episode in a digital scrapbook that would survive for all eternity. But now, in the era of lost inhibition, it seemed no detail of life was too mundane or humiliating to share. In the online age, it was more important to live out loud than to live with dignity. Internet followers were more treasured than flesh-and-blood friends, for they held the illusive promise of celebrity, even immortality. Were Descartes alive today, he might have written: I tweet, therefore I am. — Daniel Silva
![Humiliating Quotes By Alice Miller Humiliating Quotes By Alice Miller](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-alice-miller-121714.jpg)
It is unlikely that someone could proclaim "truths" that are counter to physical laws for very long (for example, that it is healthy for children to run around in bathing suits in winter and in fur coats in summer) without appearing ridiculous. But it is perfectly normal to speak of the necessity of striking and humiliating children and robbing them of their autonomy, at the same time using such high-sounding words as chastising, upbringing, and guiding onto the right path. — Alice Miller
![Humiliating Quotes By Lindsay McKenna Humiliating Quotes By Lindsay McKenna](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-lindsay-mckenna-136187.jpg)
Let's get one thing clear between us, Shiloh. I would never laugh at you. I might tease the dickens out of you, but I would never, ever make fun of you. That's not who I am. I don't believe in humiliating another person. It's not in my DNA. — Lindsay McKenna
![Humiliating Quotes By Andrew Solomon Humiliating Quotes By Andrew Solomon](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-andrew-solomon-394506.jpg)
What to say? That I would have loved to make the trip but was busy staying out of the mental hospital? It's so humiliating - so degrading. If I knew I wouldn't get caught, I'd love to lie about it - invent an acceptable cancer, that recurs and vanishes, that people could understand - that wouldn't make them frightened and uncomfortable. — Andrew Solomon
![Humiliating Quotes By Sarah Silverman Humiliating Quotes By Sarah Silverman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-sarah-silverman-533644.jpg)
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. — Sarah Silverman
![Humiliating Quotes By Andie MacDowell Humiliating Quotes By Andie MacDowell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-andie-macdowell-135071.jpg)
In 1984, I starred in 'Greystoke: The Legend Of Tarzan,' my first movie. My lines ended up being dubbed by Glenn Close, supposedly because my accent was 'too southern'. It was completely humiliating at the time. I became a laughing stock. I'm amazed that I managed to pick myself up and dust myself off. — Andie MacDowell
![Humiliating Quotes By Lena Dunham Humiliating Quotes By Lena Dunham](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-lena-dunham-436420.jpg)
When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at. — Lena Dunham

It's humiliating to be dependent, anyway, but it's still a poorer pass to have no one to depend on. — John Wyndham
![Humiliating Quotes By Fyodor Dostoyevsky Humiliating Quotes By Fyodor Dostoyevsky](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-fyodor-dostoyevsky-442920.jpg)
Honoured sir, poverty is not a vice, that's a true saying. Yet I know too that drunkeness is not a virtue, and that's even truer. But beggary, honoured sir, beggary is a vice. In poverty you may still retain your innate nobility of soul, but in beggary
never
no one. For beggary a man is not chased out of human society with a stick, he is swept out with a broom, so as to make it as humiliating as possible; and quite right, too, forasmuch as in beggary as I am ready to be the first to humiliate myself. — Fyodor Dostoyevsky
![Humiliating Quotes By Manti Te'o Humiliating Quotes By Manti Te'o](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-manti-teo-452405.jpg)
To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. — Manti Te'o

In all the history of organized labor, from the earliest times to the present day, no body of union workingmen ever served in a more humiliating and debasing role than that in which the railway unions appear at this very hour before the American people and the world. — Eugene V. Debs
![Humiliating Quotes By Christopher Hitchens Humiliating Quotes By Christopher Hitchens](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-christopher-hitchens-433983.jpg)
In which case, why not cancer of the brain? As a terrified, half-aware imbecile, I might even scream for a priest at the close of business, though I hereby state while I am still lucid that the entity thus humiliating itself would not in fact be "me." (Bear this in mind, in case of any later rumors or fabrications.) — Christopher Hitchens

Poor as the poor I cling,
like them, to humiliating hopes;
like them, each day I nearly kill myself
just to live. — Pier Paolo Pasolini
![Humiliating Quotes By Gilbert K. Chesterton Humiliating Quotes By Gilbert K. Chesterton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-gilbert-k-chesterton-463015.jpg)
No sane person, I hope, would accuse me of saying that every Distributist must drink beer; especially if he could brew his own cider or found claret better for his health. But I do most emphatically scorn and scout the vulgar refinement that regards beer as something unseemly and humiliating. And I would shout the name of beer a hundred times a day, to shock all the snobs who have so shameful a sense of shame. — Gilbert K. Chesterton
![Humiliating Quotes By Harry Crews Humiliating Quotes By Harry Crews](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-harry-crews-424289.jpg)
He had been hurt doing everything he had ever done. He expected it, even wanted it. Nothing centered a man like pain. Nothing drove the irrelevant bullshit our of your mind like the taste of your own blood. Duffy always wanted to tell people who were worried about the future of their children, or about God and the order of the universe, to go out and break a rib or two. A few broken ribs threw all thoughts of children, God and the order of the universe right out the window. Nobody with broken ribs ever had free-floating anxiety, or so Duffy was convinced. It was cheaper that a psychiatrist and never so humiliating. — Harry Crews
![Humiliating Quotes By David O. Russell Humiliating Quotes By David O. Russell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-david-o-russell-477978.jpg)
That's what takes people out of the fight half the time. They get hit and half the reaction is your ego is saying, 'I cannot believe that person just lit me up - how humiliating.' — David O. Russell
![Humiliating Quotes By Leo Tolstoy Humiliating Quotes By Leo Tolstoy](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-leo-tolstoy-420474.jpg)

Sorry 'bout that," Pretty Boy says with a crooked grin. I don't know whether he's apologizing for our initial collision or for the humiliating near-miss of an inadvertent motorboat situation. — Lauren Layne
![Humiliating Quotes By Eugene V. Debs Humiliating Quotes By Eugene V. Debs](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-eugene-v-debs-86527.jpg)
A man should take to himself no discomfort from an opinion expressed or implied by his adversary, but it is difficult, and oftentimes humiliating to attempt to justify the kindness of one's friends. — Eugene V. Debs
![Humiliating Quotes By Dave Franklin Humiliating Quotes By Dave Franklin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-dave-franklin-588384.jpg)
I seem to feel ashamed of going out and getting merry - I find it oddly humiliating - but I'm quite happy to sit here like some dipsomaniac and become maudlin. For me, that is cool behaviour. Once you realise you're going to be on your own for the next few decades, it seems as pleasurable a way as any to pass the years. — Dave Franklin
![Humiliating Quotes By Jeanette Winterson Humiliating Quotes By Jeanette Winterson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-jeanette-winterson-587851.jpg)

![Humiliating Quotes By Diane Nash Humiliating Quotes By Diane Nash](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-diane-nash-553362.jpg)
Traveling in the segregated South for black people was humiliating. The very fact that there were separate facilities was to say to black people and white
people that blacks were so subhuman and so inferior that we could not even use public facilities that white people used. — Diane Nash

New and stirring things are belittled because if they are not belittled the humiliating question arises 'Why then are you not taking part in them? — H.G.Wells
![Humiliating Quotes By Thomas Merton Humiliating Quotes By Thomas Merton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-thomas-merton-538301.jpg)
Indeed, it is a kind of quintessence of pride to hate and fear even the kind and legitimate approval of those who love us! I mean, to resent it as a humiliating patronage. — Thomas Merton
![Humiliating Quotes By Joseph Conrad Humiliating Quotes By Joseph Conrad](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-joseph-conrad-527236.jpg)
I would not unduly praise the virtue of restraint. It is often merely temperamental. But it is not always a sign of coldness. It may be pride. There can be nothing more humiliating than to see the shaft of one's emotion miss the mark of either laughter or tears. Nothing more humiliating! And this for the reason that should the mark be missed, should the open display of emotion fail to move, then it must perish unavoidably in disgust or contempt. — Joseph Conrad
![Humiliating Quotes By John Le Carre Humiliating Quotes By John Le Carre](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-john-le-carre-478547.jpg)
You have no idea how humiliating it was, as a boy, to suddenly have all your clothes, your toys, snatched by the bailiff. I mean we were a middle-class family, it's not as if it was happening up and down the street. It made me ashamed, I felt dirty. — John Le Carre
![Humiliating Quotes By Douglas Coupland Humiliating Quotes By Douglas Coupland](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-douglas-coupland-503200.jpg)
Or maybe memories are like karaoke - where you realize up on the stage, with all those lyrics scrawling across the screen's bottom, and with everybody clapping at you, that you didn't even know the lyrics to your all-time favourite song. Only afterwards, when someone else is up on stage humiliating themselves amid the clapping and laughing, do you realize that what you liked most about your favourite song was precisely your ignorance of its full meaning - and you read more into it than maybe existed in the first place. I think it's better not to know the lyrics to your life. — Douglas Coupland

The baron reminds me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on who it is," Ramsey remarked.
"I swear my own father never talked to me the way Gillian's uncle just did."
"Your father died before you were old enough to know him."
"It was humiliating, damn it. He sure as certain wasn't what I expected. The way Gillian talked about him, I pictured a mild-mannered gentleman. She thinks he's ... gentle. Is the woman blind? How in God's name can she love such a crotchety old ... "
Ramsey's head snapped up, and he suddenly burst into laughter, breaking Brodick's train of thought. "It's you."
"What?"
"Morgan ... he reminds me of you. My God, Gillian married a man just like her uncle. Look at the baron and you'll see yourself in twenty years."
"Are you suggesting I'm going to become a belligerent, foul-tempered old man?"
"Hell, you're already belligerent and foul-tempered. No wonder she fell in love with you," he drawled — Julie Garwood

Unlike solidarity, which is horizontal and takes place between equals, charity is top-down, humiliating those who receive it and never challenging the implicit power relations. — Eduardo Galeano
![Humiliating Quotes By Eli Pariser Humiliating Quotes By Eli Pariser](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-eli-pariser-492856.jpg)
One of the best ways to understand how filters shape our individual experience is to think in terms of our information diet. As sociologist danah boyd said in a speech at the 2009 Web 2.0 Expo: Our bodies are programmed to consume fat and sugars because they're rare in nature ... In the same way, we're biologically programmed to be attentive to things that stimulate: content that is gross, violent, or sexual and that gossip which is humiliating, embarrassing, or offensive. If we're not careful, we're going to develop the psychological equivalent of obesity. We'll find ourselves consuming content that is least beneficial for ourselves or society as a whole. — Eli Pariser

Hate engenders hate. Hate spreads to nations, and from this cause we have devastating wars. In the contemplation of these wars and their origins there is something humiliating to our human race. No Hymn of Hate can ever be a paean of humanity. — Arthur Alfred Lynch

the late 1940s, hospitals in many states set up abortion committees to which a woman seeking to terminate her pregnancy could appeal.9 It was a humiliating process, which could involve multiple physical examinations and interrogations by unsympathetic doctors. — Katha Pollitt

What you see as a crisis, God sees as an opportunity for growth. What you see as humiliating, He sees as an occasion for the development of humble leadership. It is all in how you see it. What is your perspective? — Myles Munroe

She'd never really existed to him. She was of no consequence in his life. He was married to a beautiful woman. Jane was pornography. Jane was the adult movie that didn't appear on his hotel bill. Jane was Internet porn, where every fetish can be fulfilled. You have a fetish for humiliating fat girls? Enter your credit card number and click right here. — Liane Moriarty

Or, just ignore it, one day you'll turn forty and you'll slowly realize you don't feel the eyes anymore, and the freedom is a relief, but you'll also sort of miss it, and when a truck driver whistles at you while you're crossing the road, you'll think, Really? For me? It had seemed like a really genuine, friendly whistle too. It was a little humiliating just how much time she'd devoted to analyzing that whistle. — Liane Moriarty
![Humiliating Quotes By Curzio Malaparte Humiliating Quotes By Curzio Malaparte](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-curzio-malaparte-190183.jpg)
There is a profound difference between fighting to avoid death and fighting in order to live. Men who fight to avoid death preserve their dignity and one and all - men, women and children - defend it jealously, tenaciously, fiercely ... When men fight to avoid death they cling with a tenacity born of desperation to all that constitutes the living and eternal part of human life, the essence, the noblest and purest element of life: dignity, pride, freedom of conscience. They fight to save their souls. But after the liberation men had to fight in order to live ... It is a humiliating, horrible thing, a shameful necessity, a fight for life. Only for life. Only to save one's skin. — Curzio Malaparte

![Humiliating Quotes By Bill Burr Humiliating Quotes By Bill Burr](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-bill-burr-264533.jpg)
I think the fear of humiliating yourself on stage always motivates me to give at least 90 percent. I've definitely been guilty of leaning on the mic stand, but you can only do that so long before you're like, "Jesus, I'm bombing." The fact that people pay to come see me, that's really just out the window. — Bill Burr
![Humiliating Quotes By Marianne Williamson Humiliating Quotes By Marianne Williamson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-marianne-williamson-148870.jpg)
It can take years of tears to melt the hardness that develops in this world, covering our tender, gentler inner selves. Tears for every devastating loss, tears for every humiliating failure, tears for every repeated mistake. Those who honor those tears, and even honor them, are not failures at love but rather its true initiates. First the pain and then the power. First the heart breaks and then it soars. — Marianne Williamson

Murtagh was right about women. Sassenach, I risked my life for ye, committing theft, arson, assault, and murder into the bargain. In return for which ye call me names, insult my manhood, kick me in the ballocks and claw my face. Then I beat you half to death and tell ye all the most humiliating things have ever happened to me, and ye say ye love me." He laid his head on his knees and laughed some more. Finally he rose and held out a hand to me, wiping his eyes with the other.
"You're no verra sensible, Sassenach, but I like ye fine. Let's go. — Diana Gabaldon

The last guest lecturer to honor the students with her presence had been Isabelle Lightwood. And the 'lecture' had consisted of a stern and humiliating warning that every female in a ten-mile radius should keep her grubby littler hands off Simon's hot bod.
Fortunately, the tall, dark-haired man who strode to the front of the classroom looked unlikely to have any interest in Simon or his bod. — Cassandra Clare

![Humiliating Quotes By Albert Camus Humiliating Quotes By Albert Camus](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-albert-camus-353874.jpg)
The truth is that every intelligent man, as you know, dreams of being a gangster and of ruling over society by force alone. As it is not so easy as the detective novels might lead one to believe, one generally relies on politics and joins the cruelest party.What does it matter, after all, if by humiliating one's mind one succeeds in dominating every one? I discovered in myself sweet dreams of oppression. — Albert Camus

![Humiliating Quotes By Friedrich Hayek Humiliating Quotes By Friedrich Hayek](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-friedrich-hayek-370469.jpg)
The case for individual freedom rests chiefly on the recognition of the inevitable and universal ignorance of all of us concerning a great many of the factors on which the achievement of our ends and welfare depend. It is because every individual knows so little and, in particular, because we rarely know which of us knows best that we trust the independent and competitive efforts of many to induce the emergence of what we shall want when we see it. Humiliating to human pride as it may be, we must recognize that the advance and even the preservation of civilization are dependent upon a maximum of opportunity for accidents to happen. — Friedrich Hayek

Dear Abby,
My boyfriend won't suck my blood. I've offered, I've cajoled. I've even begged, even though begging is totally humiliating and degrading because I'm so afraid that if he doesn't, he's going to die. Oh, and did I mention he's a vampire? No, really, the undead kind.

None of us mentioned An Evening of Long Goodbyes, whose race had been so catastrophic that, by the end, neither Frank nor I could summon the will to gloat. He had begun badly, getting his head stuck in the gate and having to be extricated by the stewards, and continued with a series of humiliating and distinctly uncanine trips and stumbles, disgracing himself beyond redemption in the third lap, when his muzzle came off and, to the boos of the crowd, he abandoned the race to leap over the hoardings and snatch a hot dog from the hand of a small boy. — Paul Murray

He dragged his mouth along her jaw. She smelled so good, so feminine. He moved his mouth to her neck, and instantly, she went taut and recoiled. Right. He was a vampire. Worth about as much as a stray dog. And this stray dog was humping her leg. She must be mortified. Fucking humiliating. He shoved himself off her, averting his gaze so she wouldn't see the color change in his eyes that signified arousal. She was too aware of his desire as it was, and he was an idiot for letting it go as far as it had. With a curse, he grabbed up his ruined shirt. It was bloody, dirty, and torn to shit. It wasn't wearable, but he put it to good use while he waited for his heart rate and breathing to return to pre-hump-the-enemy levels. — Larissa Ione

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.

![Humiliating Quotes By Paulo Coelho Humiliating Quotes By Paulo Coelho](https://quotessayings.net/pics/humiliating-quote-by-paulo-coelho-273491.jpg)
When you're washing up, pray. Be thankful that there are plates to be washed; that means there was food, that you fed someone, that you're lavished care on one or more people, that you cooked and laid the table. ...
There are women who say: "I'm not going to do the washing up let the men do it." Fine, let the men do it if they want to, but that has nothing to do with equality ... I'd be accused of working against the feminist cause. Nonsense! As if washing up or wearing a bra or having someone open or close a door could be humiliating to me as a woman. The fact is, I love it when a man opens the door for me. ... in my soul is written: "I'm being treated like a goddess. I'm a queen. — Paulo Coelho

Hamid notes that the four main schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that this verse means "that Muslims must fight non-Muslims and offer them the following choices: Convert to Islam, pay a humiliating tax called jizyah or be killed." Indeed, he adds, "A basic search of almost ALL approved interpretations for the Quran supports the same violent conclusion. The 25 leading approved Quran Interpretations (commentaries) - that are usually used by Muslims to understand the Quran - unambiguously support the violent understanding of the verse."15 — Ayaan Hirsi Ali
