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

Quotations
Suffering
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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 sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
"Voces (Voices)"
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
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"
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
