Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
Quotations
Suffering
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
