Quotations
Suffering
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
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
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
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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"
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
