Quote

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

When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.

We have the tendency to run away from suffering and to look for happiness. But, in fact, if you have not suffered, you have no chance to experience real happiness.

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

Suffering does not necessarily ennoble you.

It is not actual suffering but the taste of better things which excites people to revolt.

I see myself in all the people in the world who are suffering and who are very badly treated and who are often made to feel that they have no place on this Earth.

Suffering does not discriminate.

We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
