Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
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
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
-William Nicholson
"Shadowlands"
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
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
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
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
