Quote by Francis Thompson

Nothing begins, and nothing ends, That is not paid with moan; For we are born in others pain And perish in our own.

Nothing begins, and nothing ends, That is not paid with moan

Summary

This quote suggests that every beginning and ending is accompanied by some form of pain or suffering. It argues that our existence is intertwined with the experiences of others, as we are born amidst their hardships. Similarly, we face our ultimate demise in our own personal struggles. This observation highlights the inevitable connection between joy and suffering, implying that one cannot fully appreciate the highs of life without acknowledging and enduring the lows.

....There are many other facets to the current collapse of childhood. I have touched on the issue only briefly, but one thing is clear, our schools have deteriorated because they must deal with damaged goods. Most responsible for this damage is hospital childbirth; second comes television. Next comes day care, which fosters television and is a result of hospital childbirth. Premature schooling runs fourth. (A fifth must wait a bit for discussion.) And as our damaged children grow up and become the parents and teachers, damage will be the norm, the way of life. We will habituate to damage. Nothing else will be known. How can you miss something you can't even recognize, something you never had?
