“Without pain, how could we know joy?’ This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.”
-John Green
“Patience is the antidote to the restless poison of the Ego. Without it we all become ego-maniacal bulls in china shops, destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread. In these out-of-control moments, we bulldoze through the best possible outcomes for our lives, only to return to the scene of the crime later to cry over spilt milk.”
-Anthon St. Maarten
“You have no control of uncertainties! You can only control your life and your reaction to any event. May you find grace for patient endurance.”
- Lailah Gifty Akita
“Here’s the truth: No matter what happened on the stage tonight, no matter where you went when you drove out of here, no matter where you end up, no matter what happens, what you become, what you gain, what you lose, whether you succeed or fail, stand or fall, no matter what you dip your hands into…no gone is too far gone. You can always come home.
-Charles Martin
“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.”
-Charles Dickens
“Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?”
-John Keats
