Text Quotes
A compassionate heart will lift you out of the pain and suffering of your own world because it knows that everyone is doing the best they can, given their state of consciousness and the histories they’re dragging behind them.  (Suffering Quotes) A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.  (Suffering Quotes) I was struck after 9/11 by what seemed the assumption that everyone bereaved by that event was suffering the same thing. I wanted to explore how individual grief is, how complicated, how colored by the complexity of the mourner’s relationship with the person who’s died.  (Suffering Quotes) To treat others ethically is to act out of concern for their happiness and suffering  (Suffering Quotes) Once we’re willing to confront our emotional suffering, we begin making choices based on attraction instead of aversion, love instead of fear. Where we used to think about what was ‘safe,’ we now become interested in doing what seems right or fun or meaningful or ripe with possibilities.  (Suffering Quotes) Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the ‘size’ of human suffering is absolutely relative.  (Suffering Quotes) Without raising human consciousness, whatever we do in the world will only lead to more and more suffering.  (Suffering Quotes) Local economies are suffering as people spend more on fuel and less on consumer goods and travel  (Suffering Quotes) Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can’t stand the suffering anymore.  (Suffering Quotes) I’ve always loved the blues, ever since I was a kid. It has a depth to it that a lot of contemporary music doesn’t have. It has pain and suffering in it, but funny stories, too. And it is built on storytelling, which is something I really love.  (Suffering Quotes) One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that’s taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.  (Suffering Quotes) It’s difficult to admit to ourselves that we suffer. We feel humiliated, like we should have been able to control our pain. If someone else is suffering, we like to tuck them away, out of sight. It’s a cruel, cruel conditioning. There is no controlling the unfolding of life.  (Suffering Quotes) Woody Allen movies notwithstanding, therapy, in the early eighties, was not exactly a hot conversation starter. Nor was it a favoured activity for dysfunctional couples or suffering individuals.  (Suffering Quotes) It takes great courage to open one’s heart and mind to the tremendous injustice and suffering in our world.  (Suffering Quotes) The creative act is also in a small way a suffering act - we start out with our ego, this hope of making this thing whatever it be, but so often it eludes us and it collapses and we kind of regress into this mental suffering, we can’t find what we’re looking for.  (Suffering Quotes) Comedians don’t have a monopoly on suffering. But creative people are sometimes fortunate enough to be able to incorporate their most traumatic experiences into their art.  (Suffering Quotes) I’m great at a deathbed. I’ve never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I’ve given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering.  (Suffering Quotes) But not to perish from internal distress and doubt when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of suffering : that is great, that belongs to greatness.  (Suffering Quotes) People differ in where they direct their empathy and their compassion. Many people are intensely concerned about the suffering of non-human animals, and some do not care at all. There are cultural differences.  (Suffering Quotes) There’s only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and foget everybody else! It sound egotistical, but it’s actually the only cure for those suffering from self-pity.  (Suffering Quotes) I would hesitate to give advice to the Dalai Lama and his people because they are suffering. The Dalai Lama suffered from exile and the people in Tibet suffer from oppression.  (Suffering Quotes) He [Dalai Lama] feels, and I feel, and everyone feels the suffering and frustration of the Tibetans who long for action, who long for a militant response. But, in some ways very few of those individuals have ever been in the position of being head of state.  (Suffering Quotes) As soon as I began to talk to Dalai Lama, I realized that Chinese and Tibetans from his point of view are mostly the same. And as he pointed out during the recent disturbances, the Chinese are suffering under a tough government much as the Tibetans are.  (Suffering Quotes) Perhaps there is no more dangerous place for a Christian to be than in safety and comfort, detached from the suffering of others.  (Suffering Quotes) I wonder now how we got by when you weren’t here.I have no doubt the devastation was widespread, the suffering universal.Indeed, it was the Dark Ages in the annals of Mrs. Dawlish’s house. Ignorance was thick on the ground, and unenlkghtenment befogged all the windows.  (Suffering Quotes) Every spiritual teaching points to the possibility of the end of suffering - Now. It is true that most teachers have had to go through the Dark Night of the Soul, although for one or two it was very, very quick.  (Suffering Quotes) Poor minorities live in a new age of Jim Crow, one in which the ravages of segregation, racism, poverty and dashed hopes are amplified by the forces of privatization, financialization, militarization and criminalization, fashioning a new architecture of punishment, massive human suffering and authoritarianism.  (Suffering Quotes) My uncle worked in emergency wards dealing with people who came in with terrible injuries. He talked about the sketch shows they would put on to lighten the atmosphere. You often find this sense of grim humor in hospitals. The injuries people are suffering are ghastly. You have to laugh at something or you’d otherwise cry.  (Suffering Quotes) When we avoid the legitimate suffering that results from dealing with problems, we also avoid the growth that problems demand from us.  (Suffering Quotes) Medicine is not about conquering diseases and death, but about the alleviation of suffering, minimising harm, smoothing the painful journey of man to the grave.  (Suffering Quotes)
