What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Stichwörter: love suffering hell

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Kahlil Gibran

Stichwörter: suffering scars souls

When you've suffered a great deal in life, each additional pain is both unbearable and trifling.

Yann Martel

Stichwörter: sadness suffering

Happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain.

Thomas Hardy

Stichwörter: life happiness suffering

Whether you like it or not, you are committed to the human endeavor. I cannot ally myself with such a purely negative goal as avoidance of suffering. Suffering is a chance you take by the fact of being alive.

William S. Burroughs

Stichwörter: life persistence suffering

Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and ugliness; accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, real hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap. A man of the Classical Age who had to live in medieval times would suffocate miserably just as a savage does in the midst of our civilization. Now there are times when a whole generation is caught in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequence that it loses all power to understand itself and has no standard, no security, no simple acquiescence. Naturally, everyone does not feel this equally strongly. A nature such as Nietzsche’s had to suffer our present ills more than a generation in advance. What he had to go through alone and misunderstood, thousands suffer today.

Hermann Hesse

Paulo Coelho
