#suffering quote

[lunam-et-atticae]

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.

Charles Dickens

[chamomile-coated-cat]

"I wouldn't wish my suffering on anyone" I utter as I try to convince myself that I am a better person than I am

[quotesfromweirdplaces]

Time makes us sentimental. Perhaps in the end it is because of time that we suffer

Andre Aciman (Call Me By Your Name)

[layzcreature0]

“[…] Everyone tries to make his life a work of art. We want love to last and we know that it does not last; even if, by some miracle, it were to last a whole lifetime, it would still be incomplete. Perhaps, in this insatiable need for perpetuation, we should better understand human suffering, if we knew that it was eternal. It appears that great minds are, sometimes, less horrified by suffering than by the fact that it does not endure. 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. One morning, after many dark nights of despair, an irrepressible longing to live will announce to us the fact that all is finished and that suffering has no more meaning than happiness.”

Albert Camus: The Rebel

Without suffering, I would not know peace.

[thequoteuniverse]

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.
