Quotations
Suffering
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
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
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"
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
