“Because all my life I've learned to suffer in silence - Athena”
“Because i've suffered. Because many times in my life i have tried to love with all my heart, and my love has wound up being trampled or betrayed.”
“I have learned to suffer in silence.”
“I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own.”
“Through pain I've learned to comfort suffering men”
“At this stage of my life, I've finally come to realize I've learned more from my children than they ever learned from me.”
