Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde

"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"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
-Thomas Guthrie
