Quotations
Suffering
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche

And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
