I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.

Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
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
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
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
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
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
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
