“In comparison to what I've suffered from myself, the humiliation and suffering inflicted on me by others vanishes into insignificance.”
“Nothing a man suffers will prevent him from inflicting suffering on others. Indeed, it will teach him the way”
“When fear and suffering are disliked by me and others equally what is so special about me that I protect myself and not the other?”
“It is my observations, though, that happiness limits the amount of suffering one is willing to inflict upon others”
“I saw my suffering for what it was, finite and insignificant, and I was still. My suffering did not fit anywhere, I realized. And I could accept this." Suffering is Finite, but I feel infinite.”
“Tell my mother I stopped feeling frightened once I told myself they couldn't inflict half as much pain on me as she suffered when she gave birth to me.”
