Suffering Quotes

Suffering is not good for the soul, unless it teaches you how to stop suffering. That is its purpose Picture Quote #1

If you meet a woman of whatever complexion who sails her life with strength and grace and assurance, talk to her! And what you will find is that there has been a suffering, that at some time she has left herself for hanging dead Picture Quote #1

We are, all of us, crippled and twisted. Most of us strive desperately to keep our grotesqueries out of sight and mind. Our suffering is transformed by an alchemy of the soul into addiction, ulcers, strokes, hatred, even war Picture Quote #1

I know a lot about women and their suffering, but I still know almost nothing about men Picture Quote #1

We aren’t suggesting that mental instability or unhappiness makes one a better poet, or a poet at all; and contrary to the romantic notion of the artist suffering for his or her work, we think these writers achieved brilliance in spite of their suffering, not because of it Picture Quote #1

We have two lives... the life we learn with and the life we live after that. Suffering is what brings us towards happiness Picture Quote #1

Pain and suffering, they are a secret. Kindness and love, they are a secret. But I have learned that kindness and love can pay for pain and suffering Picture Quote #1

The great question in life is the suffering we cause, and the most ingenious metaphysics do not justify the man who has broken the heart that loved him Picture Quote #1

Let’s just call things what they are. When a man’s love of finery clouds his moral judgment, that is vanity. When he lets a demanding palate make his moral choices, that is gluttony. When he ascribes the divine will to his own whims, that is pride. And when he gets angry at being reminded of animal suffering that his own daily choices might help avoid, that is moral cowardice Picture Quote #1

At least we should learn to understand our fellow beings, for we are powerless to stop their misery, their ignominy, their suffering, their weakness, and their death Picture Quote #1

When the preponderance of human beings choose to act with justice and generosity and kindness, then learning and love and decency prevail. When the preponderance of human beings choose power, greed, and indifference to suffering, the world is filled with war, poverty, and cruelty Picture Quote #1

Your face is marked with lines of life, put there by love and laughter, suffering and tears. It’s beautiful Picture Quote #1

It is my observations, though, that happiness limits the amount of suffering one is willing to inflict upon others Picture Quote #1

People carry their secrets in hidden places, not on their faces. They carry suffering on their faces. Also bitterness if there’s room Picture Quote #1

I thought there’s something to be said for honor in this world where there doesn’t seem to be any honor left. I thought that maybe happiness wasn’t really anything more than the knowledge of a life well spent, in spite of whatever immediate discomfort you had to undergo, and that if a life well spent meant compromises and conciliations and reconciliations, and suffering at the hands of the person you love, well then better that than live without honor Picture Quote #1

In the sky there are always answers and explanations for everything: every pain, every suffering, joy and confusion Picture Quote #1

Christianity is at its best when it is peculiar, marginalized, suffering, and it is at its worst when it is popular, credible, triumphal, and powerful Picture Quote #1

Let people who do not know what to do with themselves in this life, but fritter away their time reading magazines and watching television, hope for eternal life... The life I want is a life I could not endure in eternity. It is a life of love and intensity, suffering and creation, that makes life worth while and death welcome. There is no other life I should prefer. Neither should I like not to die Picture Quote #1

You have a great heart, but will only find it to be so through great pain. This is the wisdom of love, and its doubtful gift... I have endured much suffering and still remain unbitter and unclosed Picture Quote #1

In teaching your child, do not forget that suffering is good too. It makes a person rich in character Picture Quote #1

I ask myself: is every story that has ever been written in this world, a story of suffering and affliction? Picture Quote #1

At the age of twelve I had an attitude toward life that was to endure, that was to make me seek those areas of living that would keep it alive, that was to make me skeptical of everything while seeking everything, tolerant of all and yet critical. The spirit I had caught gave me insight into the suffering of others, made me gravitate toward those whose feelings were like my own, made me sit for hours while others told me of their lives, made me strangely tender and cruel, violent and peaceful Picture Quote #1

Horror in your country is something you take a dose of to remind yourself that you are not suffering from it Picture Quote #1

If we are to grow in love, the prisons of our egoism must be unlocked. This implies suffering, constant effort and repeated choices Picture Quote #1

Dying is so simple. A fleeting moment of suffering. In the blink of an eye you are over the threshold, into another world. No more pain, no more fears. You sleep so well there. Dying is like rubbing snow together, setting fire to a whole winter of cold and ice Picture Quote #1

Do you believe your heart to be, indeed, so hardened, that you can look without emotion on the suffering, to which you would condemn me? Picture Quote #1

You didn’t understand what he was saying, until he kissed you. It was a kiss of such complicity, of such uncomplicated sympathy, that you felt for the first time not alone in your suffering Picture Quote #1

The suffering of a loved one was in many ways worse than one’s one suffering because it left one feeling so very helpless Picture Quote #1

If we are defined by reason and morality, then reason and morality must define our choices, even when animals are concerned. When people say, for example, that they like their veal or hot dogs too much to ever give them up, and yeah it’s sad about the farms but that’s just the way it is, reason hears in that the voice of gluttony. We can say that what makes a human being human is precisely the ability to understand that the suffering of an animal is more important than the taste of a treat Picture Quote #1

The coming years will prove increasingly cynical and cruel. People will definitely not slip into oblivion while hugging each other. The final stages in the life of humanity will be marked by the monstrous war of all against all: the amount of suffering will be maximal Picture Quote #1
