-Helen Keller
Quotations
Suffering
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
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
"Acheron"

-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
