Quotations
Suffering
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
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
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
"Acheron"
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.

-Arthur J. Russell
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
