Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
Quotations
Suffering
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
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
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-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
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
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"
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
