Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche

-Helen Keller
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky

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
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
