Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. 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"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
