Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.

Quotations
Suffering
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
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"
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
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
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
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"
