Quotations
Suffering
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
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"
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot

happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
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

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
