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

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts

-Sigmund Freud
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

"Voces (Voices)"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Acheron"
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
