Quotations
Suffering

-Tennessee Williams
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
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"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.

-Arthur J. Russell
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
