From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No fear can stand up to hunger, no patience can wear it out,


disgust simply does not exist where hunger is; and as to superstition, beliefs, and what you may call principles,
they are less than chaff in a breeze.


It's really easier to face bereavement, dishonour, and the perdition of one's soul—than this kind of prolonged hunger.

Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness, 1899.
