Galeano and Bertolt Brecht quotes

This Galeano quote is taken from Paul Farmer's (aforementioned book) Chapter 1 "On Suffering and Structural Violence: Social and economic rights in the global era" pg 29:
"Where do people earn the Per Capita Income? More than one poor starving soul would like to know. In our countries, numbers live better than people. How many people prosper in times of prosperity? How many people find their lives developed by development?" Eduardo Galeano

This Bertolt Brecht quote is from Farmer's book pg 251:
"The more there are suffering, then, the more natural their sufferings appear. Who wants to prevent the fishes in the sea from getting wet? And the suffering themselves share this callousness towards themselves and are lacking in kindness toward themselves. It is terrible that human beings so easily put up with existing conditions, not only with the sufferings of strangers but also with their own. All those who have thought about the bad state of things refuse to appeal to the compassion of one group of people for another. But the compassion of the oppressed for the oppressed is indispensable. It is the world's one hope." Bertolt Brecht

peace!
