It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
-Mother Teresa
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
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
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
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
