Quotes About Tames

Grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce, For, he tames it, that fetters it in verse.
~ John Donne
We all share a biology and deep drives, and what we have created -- civilization, courtesy, decency -- is a mesh that comes from those drives and also contains and tames them. Whatever feels good is not necessarily good. But what I learn is whatever is bad is not necessarily alien to me. Or to you.
~ Charles Bowden
