God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Suffering
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
-Mother Teresa
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
-William Nicholson
"Shadowlands"
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
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
