Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a journey which has an end.

-Arthur J. Russell
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
"Voces (Voices)"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
...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 of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
