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

Quotations
Suffering
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
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
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
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"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
