"As long as one can suffer, one is living....live and suffer until life is gone." --Betty Smith Maggie-Now
|
| "...the face of destiny or
luck or God that gives us war also gives other kinds of pain: the loss
of health and youth, the loss of loved ones, the fear that we will end
our days alone. Some people suffer in peace the way others suffer in war.
The special gift of that suffering...is how to be strong while we
are weak, how to be brave when we are afraid, how to be wise in the mist
of confusion, and how to let go of that which we can no longer hold.
In this way, anger can teach forgiveness, hate can teach us love,
and war can teach us peace." -- Le Ly Hayslip, When Heaven and Earth Changed Places

"Not a day passes over the earth but men and women of no note do great deeds, speak great words, and suffer noble sorrows." -Charles Reade |
