We are healed from suffering only by experiencing it to the full.
— Marcel Proust (via ahnuhlycious)
The shortness of life, so often lamented, may perhaps be the very best thing about it. If, finally, we were to bring to the sight of everyone the terrible sufferings and afflictions to which his life is constantly exposed, he would be seized with horror.
— From The world as will and representation by Arthur Schopenhauer (via bookoflead)
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
— Jiddu Krishnamurti (via cleopatracomnenos)
The misery and greatness of this world: it offers no truths, but only objects for love. Absurdity is king, but love saves us from it.
— Albert Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942 (via nofreerefills)
