“I have learned to suffer in silence.”

“Because all my life I've learned to suffer in silence - Athena”

“I think that, with age, people come to realize that death is inevitable. And we need to learn to face it with serenity, wisdom and resignation. Death often frees us from a lot of senseless sufferings.”

“My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.”

“I learned long ago that in order to heal my wounds, I must have the courage to face upto them. I also learned to forgive myself and correct my mistakes”

“If everyone played their part, no one else would have to suffer, because He had suffered for all those who'd had the courage to fight for their dreams.”

“Because after having overcome the defeats - and we always overcome them - we feel much more euphoria and confidence. In the silence of our hearts, we know we are worthy of the miracle of life. Each day, each hour, is part of the Good Combat. We begin to live with enthusiasm and pleasure. Very intense and unexpected suffering begins passing faster than apparently tolerable suffering: that drags on for years, eroding our soul without us noticing what is happening - until one day we can no longer free ourselves of the bitterness, and it accompanies us for the rest of our lives.”
