Quote

Anything that I undergo, I look at as redemptive suffering.

Suffering is a kind of ecstasy in a way. Having pain all the time makes me terribly, terribly grateful for every moment I've got.

We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.

I'm attracted to subjects who overcome tremendous suffering and learn to cope emotionally with it.

Everyone faces the challenge of finding meaning to their suffering.

I don't look at myself as suffering.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

A lot of suffering is just getting rid of dross in yourself, and lingering and hanging in the darkness is often - I say this against myself - a failure of imagination, to imagine the door into the light.

We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.

I believe in people, especially suffering people.
