Quotations
Suffering
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.

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
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
