What really arouses indignation against suffering is not suffering as such but the senselessness of suffering...

Three passions simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

Suffering has its beneficial aspects. It can be an excellent teacher.

It is intoxicating joy for the sufferer to look away from his suffering and to forget himself.

Injustice in the end produces independence.
