-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
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
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
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
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"
