Quotations
Suffering
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
- Sigmund Freud
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
- Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
- Tennessee Williams
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
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
- Paulo Coelho
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
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
- Antonio Porchia
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
- Woody Allen
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
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
