Quotations
Suffering
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
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
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
...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"
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
