Quotations
Suffering

-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.

"Voces (Voices)"
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
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
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
