Any pain that human beings can create, human beings can transcend.

Sarah Schulman
About This Quote

The human mind is capable of creating anything in the world. From mountains in the Himalayas to the tallest trees in the forests, the human mind can create anything that it desires. That being said, it is also true that humans have a unique capacity to transcend pain. While we cannot create a mountain that is so high that humanity will never be able to climb it, we can transcend even the worst pains and sufferings.
