Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
Quotations
Suffering
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
...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
"A Familiar Rain"
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
