One does not become fully human painlessly.

Foreword to Existential-Phenomenological Alternatives for Psychology (1978) by Ronald S. Valle and Mark KingRollo May
If we take seriously the word-flesh Christology of Chalcedon (i.e. the doctrine that Christ is fully human and fully divine) and view Christ as the telos toward which God is drawing the whole of creation, then any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
William A. Dembski
Only by being a man or woman for others does one become fully human.
Pedro Arrupe
She was not a Respectable Married Woman but fully a human being.
Sinclair Lewis
I am a much better person and a better writer having had my children than I would be otherwise. I would have missed a whole aspect of the human experience that's tremendously fundamental to things like characterization.
A lot of writers write as if the hero sort of popped out of the box at age 22 fully formed. And one thing that raising children does is give you some sense of how human beings really are put together. So when you go to put together a character you can have a more realistic sense of where people really come from, why they really behave the way they do and what a tremendous amount of life and complexity lies behind every human being.
But I think you can get that from being a father too. I think it's something you can do by growing up and being observant even if you don't have children.Lois McMaster Bujold
It is only by having desire thwarted, and thereby learning to control it—in other words, by becoming civilized—that men become fully human.
