Pangs of inner discord

ERWIN SCHRODINGER

"Men and women for whom this world was lit by an unusually bright light of awareness, and who by life and word have, more than others, transformed that work of art we call humanity, testify by speech and writing, or even by their very lives, that more than others they have been torn by the pangs of inner discord. Let this be a consolation to him who also suffers from it. Without it, nothing enduring has ever been begotten."
