Quotations
Suffering
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
-Thomas Guthrie
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
