I have died every day in my mind with disgust for not being able to protect my own children.
— Pawan MishraIt was the helplessness that scared the both of us.
— Lois LowryFor the first time I could remember, I felt weak, woozy and stupid— like a human-being. Like a very small and helpless human-being.
— Jeff LindsayThe reason as to why a human cannot give birth to himself is because he needs someone to help him.

Chloe reminded me of Lara, at first. The difference, as I discovered, is that Chloe really is as sweet as she seems and she isn’t as helpless as she looks.
— Kelley ArmstrongIf people feel lost and alone and helpless and broken and hopeless today, what will it be like if the world really begins to come apart at the hinges?
