Catherine of Siena (1347 – 1380) tormented her body in all ways possible, from self-flagellation to self-mutilation, to achieve great influence and fame.
Marina Abramović (1946 – ) tormented her body in all ways possible, from self-flagellation to self-mutilation, to achieve great influence and fame.
Aspiring sufferers, please, choose the time and field of your suffering wisely: If Marina would go into religion today and Catherine would go into arts then, both would be declared mentally disturbed.
