Suffering
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

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"
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.

The reward of suffering is experience.
