Quotations
Suffering
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
- Alan Watts
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.

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
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
