Quotations
Suffering
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
- Charles Dickens

- Fyodor M. Dostoevsky

- Oscar Wilde
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

- Friedrich Nietzsche

- J. Krishnamurti
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
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
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
