Quotations
Suffering
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
- John Geddes
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 word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
- Carl Gustav Jung
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
- Alan Watts
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
- Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
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
