“Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.”– Bernard Williams Related Quotes “A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox’s or bear’s, cover the soul.
