Filial love. The old man has been condemned by the Roman senate to die of hunger, and his daughter has come to his prison cell and offered her breast to feed him. This has nothing to do with with the decorous love or amorous passions one is more accustomed to seeing in a painting. It is raw and wretched and demeaning. In the end, we are physical bodies and every abstract notion about love sinks beneath this fact.","author":"Debra Dean","tags":["body","daughter","father","hunger","love","starvation","weakness"],"id":8237,"author_id":"Debra+Dean"},{"text":"It has to be admitted that starving nations never seem to be quite so starving that they cannot afford to have far more expensive armaments than anybody else.","author":"T.H.

Extreme hunger had brought on cramps in his midriff again and he held his breath to let them pass: Jack was still sitting there, the tiller under his knee, the sheet in his hand, as though he had never moved, as though he were as immoveable as the Rock of Gibraltar and as unaffected by hunger, thirst, fatigue, or despondency. In this light he even looked rock-like, the moon picking out the salient of his nose and jaw and turning his broad shoulders and upper man into one massive block. He had in fact lost almost as much weight as a man can lose and live, and in the day his shrunken, bearded face with deep-sunk eyes was barely recognizable; but the moon showed the man unchanged.","author":"Patrick O'Brian","tags":["aubrey","maturin","moon","starvation"],"id":55864,"author_id":"Patrick+O%27Brian"},{"text":"To combat death you don't need much of a life, just one that isn't yet finished.","author":"Herta Müller","tags":["death","death-and-dying","gulag","hunger","starvation","will-to-live"],"id":62089,"author_id":"Herta+M%C3%BCller"},{"text":"Trudging on foot, loaded with sacks, bundles, and babies, young mothers who had lost their milk, driven out of their minds by the horrors of the journey, abandoned their children, shook the corn out of their sacks onto the ground, and turned back. A quick death, they had decided, was preferable to a slow death by starvation. Better to fall into the clutches of the enemy than to be torn to pieces by some beast in the forest.","author":"Boris Pasternak","tags":["despair","mother","starvation"],"id":66988,"author_id":"Boris+Pasternak"},{"text":"Abnormal radiation exposure and oxygen starvation teaches you that reality is just a perception that is derived from your immediate environmental conditions.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["abnormal","astrobiology","astronomer","astronomical","astronomy","astrophysics","astrosociobiology","conditions","derived","environmental","exposure","immediate","oxygen","perception","radiation","reality","starvation","teaches"],"id":97174,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":71,"pages":8,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
