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.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
Quotations
Suffering
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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 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
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
