Quotations
Suffering
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche

-William Nicholson
"Shadowlands"
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
"Voces (Voices)"
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.

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