Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
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
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
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
