Original artwork, not a still
"How vast was a human being's capacity for suffering. The only thing you could do was stand in awe of it. It wasn't a question of survival at all. It was the fullness of it, how much could you hold, how much could you care." Astrid, White Oleander
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The passage contemplates the extent of suffering and the capacity to care within it. It expresses awe rather than instructing someone to endure harm or claiming suffering is necessary. The final line retains the character and work note.
