Best Quotes about Suffering

1.
We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full.
Proust, Marcel

2.
If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.
Victor Hugo

3.
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer
Blackstone, Sir William

4.
I have not yet met with a sorrow that could not be borne, nor with one who's passing did not leave me stronger.
Kathryn L. Nelson

5.
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
Thich Nhat Hanh

6.
I have suffered too much in this world not to hope for another.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

7.
You are outside life, you are above life, you have miseries which the ordinary man does not know, you exceed the normal level, and it is for this that men refuse to forgive you, you poison their peace of mind, you undermine their stability. You have irrepressible pains whose essence is to be inadaptable to any known state, indescribable in words. You have repeated and shifting pains, incurable pains, pains beyond imagining, pains which are neither of the body nor of the soul, but which partake of both. And I share your suffering, and I ask you: who dares to ration our relief? We are not going to kill ourselves just yet. In the meantime, leave us the hell alone.
Artaud, Antonin

8.
We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful than any other.
Freud, Sigmund

9.
Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.
Hesse, Hermann

10.
If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.
Hubbard, Elbert

11.
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Camus, Albert

12.
Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. So suffering must become Love. That is the mystery.
Mansfield, Katherine

13.
A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.
Gurdjieff, George

14.
But a somewhat more liberal and sympathetic examination of mankind will convince us that the cross is even older than the gibbet, that voluntary suffering was before and independent of compulsory; and in short that in most important matters a man has always been free to ruin himself if he chose.
G. K. Chesterton

15.
If you learn from your suffering, and really come to understand the lesson you were taught, you might be able to help someone else who's now in the phase you may have just completed. Maybe that's what it's all about after all...

16.
You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
Kafka, Franz

17.
Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

18.
Oh, fear not in a world like this, and thou shalt know erelong, know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

19.
Suffering is the ancient law of love; there is not quest without pain; there is no lover who is not also a martyr.
Suso, Heinrich

20.
Suffering is part of the divine idea.
Beecher, Henry Ward

21.
Rather suffer than die is man's motto.
La Fontaine, Jean De

22.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller

23.
For suffering and enduring there is no remedy, but striving and doing.
Carlyle, Thomas

24.
It is not suffering as such that is most deeply feared but suffering that degrades.
Sontag, Susan

25.
A misery is not to be measured from the nature of the evil, but from the temper of the sufferer.
Joseph Addison

26.
We all choke.
Strange, Curtis

27.
It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.
Lynd, Robert

28.
The afflicted are not listened to. They are like someone whose tongue has been cut out and who occasionally forgets the fact. When they move their lips no ear perceives any sound. And they themselves soon sink into impotence in the use of language, because of the certainty of not being heard.
Weil, Simone

29.
Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

30.
So long as little children are allowed to suffer, there is no true love in this world.
Isodore Duncan

31.
A cold in the head causes less suffering than an idea.
Renard, Jules

32.
Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.
Edgar Allan Poe

33.
One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

34.
Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away blessed be the name of the Lord.
Bible

35.
Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.
Orwell, George

36.
In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying.
Bertrand Russell

37.
Man has to suffer. When he has no real afflictions, he invents some.
Jose Marti

38.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
Flack, Roberta

39.
Who feareth to suffer suffereth already, because he feareth.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

40.
To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defense against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering. Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. That is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. A justification for suicide.
Pavese, Cesare

41.
Great artists suffer for the people.
Gaye, Marvin

42.
The worst part a man can suffer is to have insight into much and power over nothing.
Herodotus

43.
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
Seneca

44.
Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
Aeschylus

45.
How little it takes to make life unbearable: a pebble in the shoe, a cockroach in the spaghetti, a woman's laugh.
Mencken, H. L.

46.
It is the lot of man to suffer.
Disraeli, Benjamin

47.
What really raises one's indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

48.
I felt despair. Though it seems to me now there's two kinds of it: the sort that causes a person to surrender and then the sort I had which made me take risks and make plans.
Erica Eisdorfer

49.
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.
Faulkner, William

50.
Crying is the refuge of plain women, but the ruin of pretty ones.
Oscar Wilde
