QUOTES ON BEING HUMAN – Quotes We Need To Know In Our Daily Lives. The quotes published here were written when the COVID-19 pandemic started in March 2020. This book was purposely written to remind us that we are human beings-we feel the pain other people feel; we laugh at times; we cry alone or with someone; we carry the burden that other people don't know about, we strive hard to survive, and we feel victorious in other times. May these quotes inspire people to make a bit more effort to reflect on ourselves during this unprecedented time and analyze the things happening around us.
