Suffering has invented them both as self-justification. Man alone is torn between an unreality and an illusion.“ — Emil M. Cioran „"You asking me the way?" "Yes," I said, "since I can't find it myself." "Give it up! Give it up!" said he, and turned with a sudden jerk, like someone who wants to be alone with his laughter.“ — Franz Kafka „When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,And when he cried the little children died in the streets.“ — W. H. Auden „It is not by genius, it is by suffering, and suffering alone, that one ceases to be a marionette.“ — Emil M. Cioran „Then I heard someone who had a book of Anaxagoras, as he said, out of which he read that the mind was the disposer and cause of all… and I said to myself: If mind is the disposer, mind will dispose all for the best, and put each particular in the best place; and I argued that if anyone desired to find out the cause of the generation or destruction of anything, he must find out what state of being or suffering or doing was best for that thing, and therefore a man had only consider the best for himself and others, and then he would also know the worse, for that the same science comprised both.“ — Socrates „When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.“ — Thich Nhat Hanh
