Suffering Quotes

The cadence of suffering has begun. Every evening at dusk, my heart constricts until night has come Picture Quote #1

The world exists on thousands of different levels and just because some are more tragic than others, it doesn’t make them any more valid. You fall into that way of thinking and you become so overwhelmed by the world’s suffering, you go mad Picture Quote #1

Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it Picture Quote #1

Suffering occurs when something is taken for what it’s not, rather than for what it is Picture Quote #1

Maybe the biggest problem with loneliness is that we walk around thinking we’re the only ones suffering from it Picture Quote #1

Whenever we feel that we are definitely right, so much so that we refuse to open up to anything or anybody else, right there we are wrong. It becomes wrong view. When suffering arises, where does it arise from? The cause is wrong view, the fruit of that being suffering. If it was right view it wouldn’t cause suffering Picture Quote #1

A woman wanted to know how to deal with anger. I asked when anger arose whose anger it was. She said it was hers. Well, if it really was her anger, then she should be able to tell it to go away, shouldnt she? But it really isn’t hers to command. Holding on to anger as a personal possession will cause suffering. If anger really belonged to us, it would have to obey us. If it doesn’t obey us, that means it’s only a deception. Don’t fall for it. Whenever the mind is happy or sad, don’t fall for it. Its all a deception Picture Quote #1

Do we fear suffering or apathy most? Is it from experience or the monotony of a commonplace existence that we quickest flee? Picture Quote #1

The act of giving voice to this spiritual suffering is, in my view, the sacred duty of the writer Picture Quote #1

You do brutal workouts to get used to suffering so suffering doesn’t become a defining deal Picture Quote #1

There’s no doubt in my mind that going vegetarian has made me feel better not only physically but also because I learned about the suffering of animals who are raised and killed for food. I feel good knowing I’m not contributing to that Picture Quote #1

If you could see or feel the suffering you wouldn’t think twice. Give back life. Don’t eat meat Picture Quote #1

The human being is a surprisingly resilient organism. We are impelled toward health not sickness. Your spirit, as surely as your body, will try to heal... So you should not fear tragedy and suffering. Like love, they make you more a part of the human family. From them can come your greatest creativity. They are the fire that burns you pure Picture Quote #1

Only when we try to understand one another’s suffering can we begin to bring each other joy Picture Quote #1

Present suffering is not enjoyable, but life would be worth little without it. The difference between iron and steel is fire, but steel is worth all it costs Picture Quote #1

It is not my experience that we are here to fix the world, that we are here to change anything at all. I think we are here so the world can change us. And if part of that change is that the suffering of the world moves us compassion, to awareness, to sympathy, to love, that is a very good thing Picture Quote #1

Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working Picture Quote #1

All men and women have passions, natural desires and noble ambitions, and also a conscience; they have sex, hunger, fear, anger, and are subject to sickness, pain, suffering and death. Culture consists of bringing about the expression of these passions and desires in harmony Picture Quote #1

Intellect without humanity is not good enough... what the world is suffering from at the present time is not so much an overabundance of intellect as an insufficiency of humanity Picture Quote #1

Every good composition is above all a work of abstraction. All good painters know this. But the painter cannot dispense with subjects altogether without his work suffering impoverishment Picture Quote #1

Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person Picture Quote #1

We meditate alone but live our lives with other people; a gap is inevitable. If our path is to lead to less suffering, nd much of our suffering is with other people, then perhaps we need to reexamine our sole commitment to these individual practices... As our individual pracitce deepens, it may yiled true ease. But whether we practice meditation in seclusion or independently alongside other meditators at a meditation group or retreat, individual meditation approaches the confusion and pain of our relational lives only indirectly Picture Quote #1

If there is a purpose in life at all, there must be a purpose in suffering and in dying. But no man can tell another what this purpose is. Each must find out for himself, and must accept the responsibility that his answer prescribes. If he succeeds he will continue to grow in spite of all indignities Picture Quote #1

The chief pang of most trials is not so much the actual suffering itself as our own spirit of resistance to it Picture Quote #1

As a doctor, as well as a mother and a world citizen, I wish to practice the ultimate form of preventive medicine by ridding the earth of these technologies that propagate disease, suffering, and death Picture Quote #1

To know that children are suffering and going without food is intolerable in a society such as ours. I hope that all our leaders, in both the public and private sectors, will work tirelessly to eradicate hunger. We all have a responsibility to bring back life to our most precious natural resource Picture Quote #1

I don’t care whether animals are capable of thinking; all I care about is that they are capable of suffering! Picture Quote #1

Once admit that we have the right to inflict unnecessary suffering and you destroy the very basis of human society Picture Quote #1

There is no physical punishment in chess; suffering goes on inside the mind. You defend a bad position for hours, you suffer. You lose, you suffer like in any other sport. Suffering euphoria comes when the opponent blunders in a winning position, but it is undeserved Picture Quote #1

I want to believe in a personal God who looks after me and my loved ones and knows every sparrow that falls. But the suffering of one single child, or more likely, millions is evidence against that belief. The one question I want to ask god: how do you explain or justify the suffering of a child?
