“You're at the bottom of the mountain. May you climb up without suffering.”

“A man can laugh while he suffers.”

“Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.”

“Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what you alone can write.”

“There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. But don't lose courage. You've already escaped the gravest danger: selection. So now, muster your strength, and don't lose heart. We shall all see the day of liberation. Have faith in life. Above all else, have faith. Drive out despair, and you will keep death away from yourselves. Hell is not for eternity. And now, a prayer - or rather, a piece of advice: let there be comradeship among you. We are all brothers, and we are all suffering the same fate. The same smoke floats over all our heads. Help one another. It is the only way to survive.”

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides.”

“Suffering pulls us farther away from other human beings. It builds a wall made of cries and contempt to separate us.”
