We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Quotations
Suffering
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
-Mother Teresa
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
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
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
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
