We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Quotations
Suffering
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 end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
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
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
"Voces (Voices)"
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
