Quotations
Suffering
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
- Helen Keller
God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
- William Nicholson
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
- Alan Watts
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
- Hermann Hesse
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
- Matthew Fox
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
- Carl Gustav Jung
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
- Viktor Frankl
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
- Sherrilyn Kenyon
