-Tennessee Williams
Quotations
Suffering
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
-Mother Teresa
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. 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
"Acheron"
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
