If ever in pain, I think the best thing we can do is to create something.

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

Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.

Those who have suffered in the hands of others,know what it is to be free.

All your troubles, struggles, pains and suffering is worth one good thing.

Suffering is part and parcel of extensive intelligence and a feeling heart.

God gave you life to live happily not to suffer heavily. I felt sufferment.

God does not remove us from all harm; He uses harm to move us close to Him.

...everything I treasure is broken - it's of no use to anybody but me...

Oh soul, you worry too much. Your arms are heavy with treasures of all kinds.

When life gives you pain, accept it. When life gives you happiness, reject it.

Excessive suffering brings with it a kind of dull insensibility and stupor....

After a cruel childhood, one must reinvent oneself. Then reimagine the world.
