Quotations
Suffering
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
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette

happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
