Quotations
Suffering
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.

"Voces (Voices)"
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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"
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
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
