Suffering is not good for the soul, unless it teaches you to stop suffering

To make sense to us as physical creatures, any 'truth' must undergo transformations, be couched in certain terms or we couldn't understand it.

Its way of suffering is the witness which a soul bares to itself.

He had suffered, and he had learnt to think, two advantages that he had never known before…

My soul aches when I think about hungry soldiers, unpaid officers and their families, who have been suffering for years without a home of their own,

If the only use for your mind and soul is to create suffering, it would have been better if you didn't have them at all...
