Suffering Quotes

Her suffering ended with the day, Yet lived she at its close, And breathed the long, long night away In statue-like repose.

They might try to remind me That Such Tragedy surrounds me But this suffering created art I never found it scary... I was all undercover

I believe in a God, who, whether we understand it now or ever will, does the thing for us, which is the best thing for us out of Love even if its painful. And I think thats the truth. So, if youre in a great pain, and if youre suffering, remember that this is in the middle and that youre on your way some place, and its beneficial to you and even better than that, it might be beneficial to others so, that what I have to say to that tonight I know its short I hope its sweet, and Ill see you next time so, good night.
