Quotations
Suffering
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
- John Geddes

- Friedrich Nietzsche
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to

ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
- Deep Trivedi

- Hermann Hesse
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
- Alan Watts
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
