“'Tis better to suffer wrong than do it”
Thomas Fuller
“To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.”
Oscar Wilde
“Christianity makes suffering contagious”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I can sympathize with everything, except suffering.”
“Love does not cause suffering: what causes it is the sense of ownership, which is love's opposite”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”
Woody Allen
“We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, ''Blessed are they that mourn.''”
C.S. Lewis
