Quotations
Suffering
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
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
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"
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
"Voces (Voices)"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
