Quotes About Suffering

Far from seeking to justify, as does the Church, the necessity of torments and afflictions, he cried, in his outraged pity: 'If a God has made this world, I should not wish to be that God. The world's wretchedness would rend my heart.
~ Joris-Karl Huysmans
Every one has a sum of physical and moral suffering to pay, and whoever does not settle it here below, defrays it after death; happiness is only lent, and must be repaid; its very phantoms are like duties paid in advance on a future succession of sorrows.
~ Joris-Karl Huysmans
The fact is that ,pain being one of the consequences of education,in that it grows greater and sharper with the growth of ideas ,it follows that the more we try to polish the minds and refine the nervous system of the under-privileged , the more we shall be developing in their hearts the atrociously active germs of hatred and moral suffering.
~ Joris-Karl Huysmans

~ Jose Marti
Ahora ya sabía lo que era el dolor. Dolor no de recibir golpes hasta desmayarse. No de cortarse el pie con un pedazo de vidrio y recibir puntos en la farmacia. Dolor era eso que llenaba todo el corazón, con lo que la gente tenía que morirse, sin poder contarle a nadie el secreto. Dolor era lo que me daba esa debilidad en los brazos, en la cabeza, hasta en el deseo de dar vuelta la cabeza en la almohada.

The just and the worthy have to suffer in order to spread their ideas and let them be known. One has to shake and break the glass in order to scatter the perfume. One has to scratch the surface of the rock to release the light. There is something providential in the persecution of tyrants, Señor Simoun.
~ Jose Rizal
Because you can be happy elsewhere, because you are not made for suffering, because you would hate your country if some day you were to find yourself outcast for her sake, and to hate one's own country is the greatest of misfortunes.
~ Jose Rizal
Impossible. It is true that I cannot love or be happy in my country, but I can suffer and die in it, and perhaps for it; that is always something. Let the misfortunes of my country be my own, and since our people are not all united by a noble ideal, since our hearts do not beat faster to the same name, at least our common unhappiness may unite me with them. I shall weep with them over our sorrows, and let the same misfortunes oppress all our hearts.
~ Jose Rizal
