-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
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
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
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
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
