Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
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
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
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"
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
