The miserable's name is Man; he is agonizing in all climes, and he is groaning in all languages.

— Victor Hugo

Next Quote

What would happen to a body that was starved, suffocated and then forced to drink poison? It would first suffer and then die an agonizing death. We willingly starve and suffocate our hearts by turning away form the remembrance of God. And then we poison our hearts through the bad company we keep, the garbage that goes into our eyes and ears, and emanates from our tongue... And then we wonder why our heart feels dead.

— Yasmin Mogahed
