Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
