If one suffers we all suffer. Togetherness is strength. Courage.

Courage! I have shown it for years think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?

Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us all that gives value to life we owe to it pity we owe to it courage we owe to it all the virtues.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

I think trying to be cool is the worst possible ambition - and I have never suffered from it.

I don't think the Palestinian people or Afghan children or some other things I'm concerned about are at the top of other people's agendas - not right now when America is going through such a recession and people are suffering across the board financially. But I think all that will change.

When it becomes more difficult to suffer than to change... you will change.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately although it is true it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience we suffer.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay then it's you.

Beauty is the still birth of suffering every woman knows that.

I still believe that capitalism is too harsh and I believe that even within that there is a lot of satisfaction and beauty if you happen to be one of the lucky ones although that doesn't eradicate the reality of the suffering. It's all true at once kind of humming and sublime.

I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was or my young beauty because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.

The attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.

Animals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass but it's a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of.

My denial and irresponsible attitude about asthma put me at great risk and caused me so much needless suffering. My hope is that the kids I talk to learn to open up about their asthma become educated about their condition and seek help.

Mankind's true moral test its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view) consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.
