To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
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
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
...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"
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
