To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.
Quote by -Woody Allen

Quote by -George Santayana
“For what is most dreaded is not the agony of dying, nor yet the strange impossibility that when we do not exist we should suffer for not existing. What is dreaded is the defeat of a present will directed upon life and its various undertakings.”
Quote by -George Santayana

Quote by -Mother Teresa
“Never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life. Each lapse is like the letting fall of a ball of string which one is carefully winding up; a single slip undoes more than a great many turns will wind again.”
Quote by -William James
“I'd realized that in writing happiness is useless-without suffering there is no story.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
It suffices here to say that the planned economy which the advocates of dictatorship wish to set up is precisely as socialistic as the Socialism propagated by the self-styled Social Democrats.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
One does not ask of one who suffers: What is your country and what is your religion? One merely says: You suffer, that is enough for me.
Quote by -Louis Pasteur
"Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil; but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize"
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering."
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
"How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"And then I was crying too, crying with Danny, silently, for his pain and for the years of his suffering, knowing that I loved him, and not knowing whether I hated or loved the long, anguished years of his life."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"The poor, you know, have a way of solving problems...they have a tremendous capacity for suffering. And so when you build a vehicle to get something done, as we've done here in the strike and the boycott, then they continue to suffer - and maybe a little bit more - but the suffering becomes less important because they see a chance of progress; sometimes progress itself. They've been suffering all their live.s It's a question of suffering with some kind of hope now. That's better than suffering with no hope at all."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"If you are interested in preventing animal suffering, the first thing you should give up is eggs and milk because the animals who produce those foods lead the most unhappy lives. You would do better to eat meat and stop eating eggs and dairy products."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We have suffered unnumbered ills and crimes in the name of the Law of the Land. Our men, women and children have suffered not only the basic brutality of stoop labor, and the most obvious injustices of the system; they have also suffered the desperation of knowing that the system caters to the greed of callous men and not to our needs. Now we will suffer for the purpose of ending the poverty, the misery, and the injustice, with the hope that our children will not be exploited as we have been. They have imposed hungers on us, and now we hunger for justice."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Because we have suffered, and we are not afraid to suffer in order to survive, we are ready to give up everything - even our lives - in our struggle for justice."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non-violence has suffered its biggest defeat in the hands of people who most want to talk about it."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"I'm not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops, but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it's completely controllable. I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don't have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it."
Quote by -Catherine Zeta-Jones
"If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."
Quote by -Catherine Zeta-Jones
"You suffer as an actor. It's difficult to be an actor and live a good life, especially today."
Quote by -Catherine Deneuve
"Out of suffering comes the serious mind; out of salvation, the grateful heart; out of endurance, fortitude; out of deliverance faith."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make."
Quote by -John Ruskin
“Though our brother is upon the rack, as long as we ourselves are at ease, our senses will never inform us of what he suffers. They never did and never can carry us beyond our own persons, and it is by the imagination only that we form any conception of what are his sensations...His agonies, when they are thus brought home to ourselves, when we have this adopted and made them our own, begin at last to affect us, and we then tremble and shudder at the thought of what he feels.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“This demonstrated to me that those who regard universal suffrage as a guarantee for good choices are under a complete illusion. Universal suffrage has other advantages, but not that one.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
How much more suffering is caused by the thought of death than by death itself.
Quote by -Will Durant
I stand between two worlds. I am at home in neither, and I suffer in consequence. You artists call me a bourgeois, and the bourgeois try to arrest me...I don't know which makes me feel worse.
Quote by -Thomas Mann
