Every time I sit down to eat, I cast my lot: for mercy, against misery; for the oppressed, against the oppressor; and for compassion, against cruelty. There is a lot of suffering in the world, but how much suffering can be addressed with literally no time or effort on our part? We can just stop supporting it, by making different choices Picture Quote #1

You know, the camera is not meant just to show misery. You can show things that you like about the universe, things that you hate about the universe. It’s capable of doing both Picture Quote #1

So many able writers have shown that the unjust institutions which work so much misery and suffering to the masses have their root in governments, and owe their whole existence to the power derived from government we cannot help but believe that were every law, every title deed, every court, and every police officer or soldier abolished tomorrow with one sweep, we would be better off than now Picture Quote #1

The world is not fair. If you persist in presuming it is, you will create a lot of unnecessary misery for yourself Picture Quote #1

In a world filled with misery and uncertainty, it is a great comfort to know that, in the end, there is light in the darkness Picture Quote #1

A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them. Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder Picture Quote #1

My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine Picture Quote #1

Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality; it strikes at the root of all domestic happiness, and consigns more than half of the human race to misery Picture Quote #1

When two peoples share a common passion: they are capable of empathising with each other’s misery Picture Quote #1

When we place more value on what other people think of us than on what we think of ourselves, it’s a formula for misery Picture Quote #1

If a mosquito has a soul, it is mostly evil. So I don’t have too many qualms about putting a mosquito out of its misery. I’m a little more respectful of ants Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as quite a confused kind of person, because I think there’s so many great things about the world, but there are so many awful things too. I feel very guilty a lot of the time about enjoying my life so much when there are people living in such misery Picture Quote #1

Once I was a prisoner lost inside myself with the world surrounding me, wandering through the misery, but now I am free. Free to love, free to laugh, free to soar, free to shine, free to give Picture Quote #1

There is nothing glamorous or romantic about war. It’s mostly about random pointless death and misery Picture Quote #1

We come unbidden into this life, and if we are lucky we find a purpose beyond starvation, misery, and early death which, lest we forget, is the common lot.

Few doctors will admit this, certainly not young ones, but subconsciously, in entering the profession, we must believe that ministering to others will heal our woundedness. And it can. but it can also deepen the wound Picture Quote #1

Yoga makes you free. It makes you happy. It gets you out of the traps that create human misery. It makes you vibrate faster Picture Quote #1

The history of art is filled with people who did not live long enough to enjoy a sympathetic public, and their misery argues that criticism should try to speed justice Picture Quote #1

We have already discovered the fact that the man who masters fear may march on to successful achievement in practically any undertaking, despite all efforts to defeat him Picture Quote #1

Trust not what inspires other members of society to choose as a career. Trust what inspires you. From this decision alone will come over a third of your satisfaction or misery in your life Picture Quote #1

If you see misery, it’s your misery. When you see the perfection where the seeming imperfection seems to be, the misery is only an apparency Picture Quote #1
