I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy! Picture Quote #1

If we were to care about every person suffering on this planet, life would shut down Picture Quote #1

It is not a case we are treating; it is a living, palpitating, alas, too often suffering fellow creature Picture Quote #1

Before my eyes are many miserable scenes, the suffering of others and myself forces my hands to move. I become a machine for writing Picture Quote #1

There are women who do not like to cause suffering to many men at a time, and who prefer to concentrate on one man: These are the faithful women Picture Quote #1

Imagine now a man who is deprived of everyone he loves, and at the same time of his house, his habits, his clothes, in short, of everything he possesses: he will be a hollow man, reduced to suffering and needs, forgetful of dignity and restraint, for he who loses all often loses himself Picture Quote #1

To be good we must needs have suffered; but perhaps it is necessary to have caused suffering before we can become better Picture Quote #1

How many young hearts have revealed the fact that what they had been trained to imagine, the highest earthly felicity, was but the beginning of care, disappointment, and sorrow, and often led to the extremity of mental and physical suffering Picture Quote #1

Torture presupposes, it requires, it craves the abrogation of our capacity to imagine others suffering, dehumanizing them so much that their pain is not our pain. It demands this of the torturer, placing the victim outside and beyond any form of compassion or empathy, but also demands of everyone else the same distancing, the same numbness Picture Quote #1

I am convinced, the longer I live, that life and its blessings are not so entirely unjustly distributed as when we are suffering greatly we are inclined to suppose Picture Quote #1

I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don’t despise it. But it can’t quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it Picture Quote #1

Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts Picture Quote #1

Suffering is nothing. It’s all a matter of preventing those you love from suffering Picture Quote #1

I understand people’s suffering, people’s pain, more than you will every know yourself Picture Quote #1

An artist has to go to every extreme, to stretch his sensibility through excess and suffering in order to feel and to communicate more. I have always been fascinated by blood. Pain can be vitalizing; it gives intensity in the place of vagueness and emptiness. If we don’t suffer, how do we know that we live? Picture Quote #1

Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish Picture Quote #1

Success and suffering are vitally and organically linked. If you succeed without suffering, it is because someone suffered for you; if you suffer without succeeding, it is in order that someone else may succeed after you Picture Quote #1

Sport inevitably creates deadness of feeling. No one could take pleasure in it who was sensitive to suffering; and therefore its pursuit by women is much more to be regretted than its pursuit by men, because women pursue much more violently and recklessly what they pursue at all Picture Quote #1

In a free country there is much clamor, with little suffering; in a despotic state there is little complaint, with much grievance Picture Quote #1

Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue Picture Quote #1

The tensions between authority and the people need to be heard, especially when they are suffering and they can’t eat Picture Quote #1

It’s good to focus on the universal suffering that goes on in any war. Whatever the right and wrongs of the war, there is always universal suffering Picture Quote #1

There’s no hierarchy in suffering. I think songs that are transcendent are the ones where everyone can feel something from it, you know? Picture Quote #1

So much of what we are currently seeing as far as human suffering and misery comes from diseases that should have been preventable but were not Picture Quote #1

In reference to Persepolis and all palaces, cities and temples of the past: could these wonders have come into being without that suffering? without the overseer’s whip, the slave’s fear, the ruler’s vanity? was not the monumentality of past epochs created by that which is negative and evil in man? Picture Quote #1

Often we ask ourselves to make absolute sense out of what just happens, and in this way, what we are practicing is suffering, which everybody practices, but strangely few of us grow graceful in Picture Quote #1
