. . . SUFFERING see: "UNHAPPINESS" for related links To repel one's cross is to make it heavier. --Henri Frιdιrick Amiel (18211881) Swiss critic. Quoted in James Wood _Dictionary of Quotations_, p. 493 [1895]. Some people like being burdened. It gives them an interest. --Beryl Bainbridge (b. 1934) English novelist. _An Awfully Big Adventure_ [1989] Some people suffer in silence louder than others. --Morrie Brickman (19171994) American cartoonist. Attributed in _Quotable Quotes_ [Reader's Digest, paperback, 1997]. In a free country there is much clamor, with little suffering: in a despotic state there is little complaint but much suffering. --Lazare Hippolyte Carnot (18011888) French statesman. Quoted in Tryon Edwards _A Dictionary of Thoughts_, p. 544 [1908]. Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth. --Fyodor Dostoyevsky (18211881), Russian novelist, journalist, and short story writer. _Crime and Punishment_, ch. V, pt. III [1866] We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful than any other. --Sigmund Freud (18561939) Austrian psychiatrist. _Civilization and Its Discontents_, ch. 2 [1930] If Afflictions refine some, they consume others. --Thomas Fuller (16541734) English writer and physician. Comp., _Gnomologia: Adages and Proverbs_, # 2666 [1732] None but the lonely heart Knows what I suffer! --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (17491832) German poet, novelist, and playwright. _Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre_ (Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship), bk. 4, ch. 11 [1795-96] Strength is born In the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; Not amidst joy. --Felicia Hemans [nιe Browne] (17931835) English poet. "The Siege of Valencia" [1823] Happiness is not a reward it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment it is a result. --Robert Green Ingersoll (18331899) American politician and orator know as "The Great Agnostic." "The Christian Religion", pt. 2 in _The North American Review_ [November 1881]. - [...] Let us, my dear, pray for one another, and consider our sufferings as notices mercifully given us to prepare ourselves for another state. I live now in a melancholy way. My old friend Mr Levet is dead, who lived with me in the house, and was useful and companionable; Mrs Desmoulins is gone away; and Mrs Williams is so much decayed, that she can add little to another's gratifications. The world passes away, and we are passing with it; but there is, doubtless, another world, which will endure for ever. Let us fit ourselves for it. --Samuel Johnson (17091784) English poet, critic, and lexicographer. Letter to Lucy Porter [5 July 1783]. - The more one suffers, the more, I believe, one has a sense of the comic. It is only by the deepest suffering that one acquires the authority in the art of the comic. --Sφren Kierkegaard (18131855) Danish philosopher. _Stages On Life's Way_ [1845] Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys. --Alphonse de Lamartine (17901869) French poet, novelist, and statesman. _Raphaλl, or Pages of the Book of Life at Twenty_ [1849] If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18071882) American poet. _Driftwood_ [1857] It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive. --W. Somerset Maugham (18741965) English novelist, playwright, and short-story writer. _The Moon and Sixpence_, ch. 17 [1919] - What does not kill me make me stronger. --Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (18441900) German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture. _Twilight of the Idols_ [1889] If you have a suffering friend, be a resting-place for his suffering, but a resting-place like a hard bed, a camp-bed: thus you will serve him best. --Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (18441900) German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture. _Thus Spoke Zarathustra_ [1892], "Of the Compassionate" It is not so much the suffering as the senselessness of it that is unendurable. --Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (18441900) German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture. As paraphrased by Nicholas Berdyaev in _The Destiny of Man_ [1931] tr. Natalie Duddington [1955]. - Great souls suffer in silence. --Friedrich von Schiller (17591805) German poet, historian, and dramatist. _Don Carlos_, I. 4. 52 [c. 1783-87] - He jests at scars, that never felt a wound. --William Shakespeare (15641616) English dramatist. _Romeo and Juliet_, II, ii [1595-96] The worst is not, So long as we can say, 'This is the worst.' --William Shakespeare (15641616) English dramatist. _King Lear_, IV, i [1605-06] - How can I criticize those who were indifferent to Jewish suffering during the Shoah if I do nothing when confronted with the suffering of innocent people today? We Jews suffered not only from the cruelty of killers, but also from the indifference of bystanders. I believe that a person who is indifferent to the suffering of others is complicit in the crime. And that I cannot allow, at least not for myself. --Eliezer [Elie] Wiesel (b. 1928) Romanian Jew and Holocaust survivor. Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. Quoted in Aron Hirt-Manheimer _Against Indifference: A Conversation with Elie Wiesel_ [2005].  ;void(0)) SUICIDE . . see: "DEATH" for related links see: "UNHAPPINESS" for related links There are some vile and contemptible men who, allowing themselves to be conquered by misfortune, seek a refuge in death. --Agathon (c. 448400 B.C.) Athenian tragic poet. Attributed in Maturin M. Ballou _Treasury of Thought_, p. 123 [10th ed. 1884]. - [Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) speaking:] I was suicidal as a matter of fact and would have killed myself but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian, and, if you kill yourself, they make you pay for the sessions you missed. --Woody Allen [Allen Stewart Konigsberg] (b. 1935) American actor, screenwriter, and director. "Annie Hall" [1977 film] (Screenplay by Allen & Marshall Brickman.) The Depression shattered Weinsteins Uncle Meyer, who kept his fortune under the mattress. When the market crashed, the government called in all mattresses, and Meyer became a pauper overnight. All that was left for him was to jump out the window, but he lacked the nerve and sat on a window sill of the Flatiron Building from 1930 to 1937. --Woody Allen [Allen Stewart Konigsberg] (b. 1935) American actor, screenwriter, and director. "No Kaddish for Weinstein" (short story) - To die in order to avoid the pains of poverty, love, or anything that is disagreeable, is not the part of a brave man, but of a coward. --Aristotle (384322 B.C.)

Suicide is not to fear death, but yet to be afraid of life. It is a brave act of valor to contemn death; but where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valor to dare to live. --Sir Thomas Browne (16051682) English writer and physician. _Religio Medici_, pt. I, xliv [1643] [I] should, many a good day, have blown my brains out, but for the recollection that it would have given pleasure to my mother-in-law. --Lord Byron [George Gordon Byron] (17881824) English Romantic poet and satirist. Letter to Thomas Moore quoted in Thomas Mallon _Yours Ever: People and Their Letters_ [2009]. There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. --Albert Camus (19131960) French novelist, dramatist, and essayist who won the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature. _Le Mythe de Sisyphe_ (The Myth of Sisyphus), "Absurdity and Suicide" [1942] ^ Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576) Italian mathematician and astrologer. Cardano was renowned throughout Europe as an astrologer, even visiting England to cast a horoscope of the young king, Edward VI. A steadfast believer in the accuracy of his so-called science, Cardano constructed a horoscope predicting the hour of his own death. When the day dawned, it found him in good health and safe from harm. Rather than have his prediction falsified, Cardano killed himself. --_Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes_ edited by Clifton Fadiman and Andrι Bernard [2000 ed.] ^ I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the time he killed himself. --Johnny Carson (19252005) American comedian and host of The Tonight Show [1962-92]. On NBC TV "The Tonight Show" [20 November 1984]. In January 1952, [...] Mao ordered [a] campaign [...] called "the Five-Antis." The offences were bribery, tax evasion, pilfering state property, cheating and stealing economic information. It was aimed at private businessmen, whose property had not been confiscated, to force them to disgorge money, as well as to frighten them out of acts like bribery and tax evasion. One person involved at a high level put the number of suicides [...] as at least 200,000-300,000. In Shanghai so many people jumped from skyscrapers that they acquired the nickname "parachutes." One eyewitness wondered why people jumped into the street rather than into the river. The reason, he discovered, was that they wanted to safeguard their families: "If you jumped into the Huangpu River and were swept away so the Communists didn't have a corpse, they would accuse you of having escaped to Hong Kong, and your family would suffer. So the best way was to leap down to the street." --Jung Chang and Dan Halliday, _Mao: The Unknown Story_ [2005] ^^ Charondas (6th century B.C.) Greek legislator. One of Charondas's laws forbade citizens to carry weapons into the public assembly. Forgetting this, he wore his sword into the public meeting one day. A fellow citizen reproached him for violating his own law. "By Zeus, I will confirm it," said Charondas instantly, and drawing his sword, killed himself. --_Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes_ edited by Clifton Fadiman and Andrι Bernard [2000 ed.] ^^ [Commiting suicide on air:] In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts in living color, you're going to see another first an attempted suicide. --Christine Chubbuck (19441974) American television news reporter. "Sunshine Broadcast", WXLT-TV, Sarasota FL [15 July 1974] It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late. --E. M. Cioran (19111995) Romanian-born French philosopher. _The Trouble with Being Born_, ch. 2 [1973] - Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it, since as many live because they are afraid to die as die because they are afraid to live. --C.C. Colton (17801832) English clergyman and writer. _Lacon: or, Many Things in Few Words_, CCXCIV [1823 ed.] Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and more suicides than despair. --C.C. Colton (17801832) English clergyman and writer. Attributed in Elias Lyman Magoon _Proverbs for the People_ [1849]. - - [...] Survivors often regret their decision in midair, if not before. Ken Baldwin and Kevin Hines both say they hurdled over the railing, afraid that if they stood on the chord they might lose their courage. Baldwin was twenty-eight and severely depressed on the August day in 1985 when he told his wife not to expect him home till late. "I wanted to disappear," he said. "So the Golden Gate was the spot. I'd heard that the water just sweeps you under." On the bridge, Baldwin counted to ten and stayed frozen. He counted to ten again, then vaulted over. "I still see my hands coming off the railing," he said. As he crossed the chord in flight, Baldwin recalls, "I instantly realized that everything in my life that I'd thought was unfixable was totally fixable except for having just jumped." Kevin Hines was eighteen when he took a municipal bus to the bridge one day in September, 2000. After treating himself to a last meal of Starbursts and Skittles, he paced back and forth and sobbed on the bridge walkway for half an hour. No one asked him what was wrong. A beautiful German tourist approached, handed him her camera, and asked him to take her picture, which he did. "I was like, 'Fuck this, nobody cares,' " he told me. "So I jumped." But after he crossed the chord, he recalls, "My first thought was What the hell did I just do? I don't want to die." [...] Every two weeks, on average, someone jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge. It is the world's leading suicide location. In the eighties, workers at a local lumberyard formed "the Golden Gate Leapers Association" a sports pool in which bets were placed on which day of the week someone would jump. At least twelve hundred people have been seen jumping or have been found in the water since the bridge opened in 1937, including Roy Raymond, the founder of Victoria's Secret, in 1993, and Duane Garrett, a Democratic fund-raiser and a friend of Al Gore's, in 1995. The actual toll is probably considerably higher, swelled by legions of the stealthy, who sneak onto the bridge after the walkway closes at sundown and are carried to sea with the neap tide. Many jumpers wrap suicide notes in plastic and tuck them into their pockets. "Survival of the fittest. Adios-unfit," one seventy-year- old man said in his valedictory; another wrote, "Absolutely no reason except I have a toothache." [...] --Tad Friend, "The fatal grandeur of the Golden Gate Bridge" in the _New Yorker_ [13 October 2003] - After a commissioner arrived late for a meeting, Fiorello La Guardia sent him an article from a magazine about a Japanese official who had missed an appointment and been so ashamed that he committed suicide. A penciled mayoral note said, 'That is class.' --H. Paul Jeffers _The Napolean of New York_ [2002] Suicide is what the death certificate says when one dies of depression. --Peter D. Kramer, psychiatrist, in "What Ivanov Needs in the 90s Is an Anti-Depressant" _New York Times_ [21 December 1997]. My advice to any young Australian writer whose talents have been recognised would be to go steerage, stow away, swim, and seek London, Yankeeland or Timbucktoo rather than stay in Australia till his genius turned to gall or beer. Or failing this and still in the interests of human nature and literature to study elementary anatomy, especially as applies to the cranium, and then shoot himself carefully with the aid of a looking glass. --Henry Lawson (18671922) Australian writer and poet. Quoted in _The Academy_ [8 April 1899]. He That kills himself to avoid misery, fears it, And, at the best, shows but a bastard valor. This life's a fort committed to my trust, Which I must not yield up, till it be forced: Nor will I. He's not valiant that dares die, But he that boldly bears calamity. --Philip Massinger (15831640) English Jacobean and Caroline playwright. _The Maid of Honour_, IV, iii [1621?] - [D]uring my late teens, with the enlightenment gradually dawning within me, I more than once concluded that death was preferable to life. At that age the sense of humor is in a low state. Later on, by the mysterious working of God's providence, it usually recovers. What keeps a reflective and skeptical man alive? In large part, I suspect, it is this sense of humor. But in addition there is curiosity. Human existence is always irrational and often painful, but in the last analysis it remains interesting. One wants to know what is going to happen tomorrow. Will the lady in the mauve frock be more amiable than she is today? Such questions keep human beings alive. If the future were known, every intelligent man would kill himself at once, and the Republic would be peopled wholly by morons. --H.L. (Henry Louis) Mencken (18801956) American journalist and literary critic. "Under the Elms" in _A Mencken Chrestomathy_ [New York: Knopf, 1949]. - A suicide kills two people, Maggie, that's what it's for! --Arthur Miller (19152005) American dramatist. _After the Fall_, act 2 [1964] The relatives of a suicide resent him for not having stayed alive out of consideration for their reputation. --Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (18441900) German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture. _Human, All Too Human_ [1878], tr. Marion Faber [1984] Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you: And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live. --Dorothy Parker (18931967) American critic and humorist. "Rιsumι" [1926] - Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean-favored and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good Morning!" and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich, yes, richer than a king, And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine -- we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked and waited for the light, And went without the meat and cursed the bread, And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet in his head. --Edwin Arlington Robinson (18691935) American poet. "Richard Cory" [1897] - It takes far less courage to kill yourself than it takes to make yourself wake up one more time. It's harder to stay where you are than to get out. --Judith Rossner (19352005) American novelist. _Nine Months in the Life of an Old Maid_ [1969] [Suicide note:] Dear World, I am leaving you because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool good luck. --George Sanders (19061972) Russian-born British actor. Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. --Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C.65 A.D.) Roman philosopher and poet. _Letters to Lucilius_ (1st c.) To be, or not to be--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. --William Shakespeare (15641616) English dramatist. _Hamlet_, III, i [1601] Those men who destroy a healthful constitution of body by intemperance and an irregular life do as manifestly kill themselves as those who hang, or poison, or drown themselves. --Thomas Sherlock (16781761) English bishop of the Church of England. Attributed in James Ford _The Acts of the Apostles ..._ [1856]. Suicide [...] is about life, being in fact the sincerest form of criticism life gets. --Wilfrid Sheed (b. 1930) English novelist. _The Good Word & Other Words_, pt. I, ch. 15 [1978] He is certainly as guilty of suicide who perishes by a slow, as he that is despatched by an immediate poison. --Richard Steele (16721729) Irish-born essayist and dramatist. _Tatler_ [24 October 1710] Suicide is no more than a trick played on the calendar. --Tom Stoppard [Tomas Straussler] (b. 1937) Czech-born British playwright. _The Dog It Was That Died_ [1983] Nor at all can tell Whether I mean this day to end myself, Or lend an ear to Plato where he says, That men like soldiers may not quit the post Allotted by the Gods. --Alfred, Lord Tennyson (18091892) English poet. "Lucretius" [1868] Do not despair of life. You have no doubt force enough to overcome your obstacles. Think of the fox prowling through wood and field in a winter night for something to satisfy his hunger. Notwithstanding cold and hounds and traps, his race survives. I do not believe any of them ever committed suicide. --Henry David Thoreau (18171862) American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher. _Thoreau on Man and Nature_ [1960] Civilizations die from suicide, not murder. --attributed to Arnold Toynbee (18891975) English historian. ^ When Vera Czermak learned that her husband had betrayed her, she decided she would end it all by jumping out of her third-story window. Some time later she awoke in the hospital to discover that she was still alive, having landed upon her husband. Mr. Czermak, however, was dead. -- in John Train _True Remarkable Occurrences_ [1981] ^ I wonder if anybody ever reached the age of thirty-five in New England without wanting to kill himself. --Barrett Wendell (18551921) American educator and author. _Barrett Wendell and his Letters_ [1924], ed. by M A De Wolfe Howe. - A bloke walks into a Glasgow library and says to the prim librarian, "Excuse me Miss, dey ye hiv ony books on suicide?" To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says, "Off wi' ye, ye'll no bring it back!" - . . see: "TIME" for related links Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone. --Henry Ward Beecher (18131887) American Congregational minister; brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe, son of Lyman Beecher. In Henry Ward Beecher and Edna Dean Proctor, _Life Thoughts: Gathered From the Extemporaneous Discourses of Henry Ward Beecher_, p. 27 [1858]. The summer of '28 was a vintage summer for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year- old boy named Douglas Spaulding. --Ray Bradbury (b. 1920) American science fiction author. _Dandelion Wine_ [1957] In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. --Albert Camus (19131960) French novelist, dramatist, and essayist who won the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature. _L'Ιtι_ (The Summer) [1954], "Return to Tipasa" Summertime And the livin' is easy, Fish are jumpin', And the cotton is high. Oh, your daddy's rich, And your ma is good lookin', So hush, little baby, Don' yo' cry. --"Summertime", Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward, [from the 1935 play "Porgy and Bess".] June is bustin' out all over. --Oscar Hammerstein II (18951960) American songwriter. Title of song, [from the 1945 musical Carousel.] Summer afternoon summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. --Henry James (18431916) American novelist. Quoted in Edith Wharton _A Backward Glance_ [1934]. My girlfriend's gone off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa; Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. And now I'm sitting here, Sipping on my ice cold beer, Lazin' on a sunny afternoon. --The Kinks "Sunny Afternoon" [1966 song] Somehow, it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summer's day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum. --Harper Lee (b. 1926) American novelist. _To Kill a Mockingbird_ [1960] 'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone. --Thomas Moore (17791852) Irish poet, satirist, composer, and musician. _Irish Melodies_ [1807-34], "The Last Rose of Summer" Winter is cold-hearted, Spring is yea and nay, Autumn is a weathercock Blown every way: Summer days for me When every leaf is on its tree. --Christina Rossetti [pseud. Ellen Alleyne] (18301894) English poet. "Summer", st. 1, in _The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems_ [1866]. - Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York. --William Shakespeare (15641616) English dramatist. _King Richard III_, I. i [1591] Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. [...] Thy eternal summer shall not fade. --William Shakespeare (15641616) English dramatist. _Sonnets_ 18, [1609] - In the good old summer time, In the good old summer time, Strolling thro' the shady lanes, With your baby mine; You hold her hand and she holds yours, And that's a very good sign, That she's your tootsie-wootsie In the good, old summer time. --Ren Shields (18681913) American songwriter. "In the Good Old Summertime" [1902 song] 'Heat, ma'am!' I said; 'it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones.' --Sydney Smith (17711845) English clergyman and essayist. Lady Holland (Smith's daughter) _A Memoir of the Reverend Sydney Smith_ [1855] "There is no word for end-of-summer sadness," wrote E. B. White, "but the human spirit picks up the first of its approach." We see it in the slant of the sunlight, in the autumnal blue of Cape Cod Bay. We hear it in the drone of the cricket chorus from the salt meadows: "Six weeks till frost, six weeks till frost." Suddenly each day becomes precious, something to be hoarded like candy in a child's pocket. --Arthur T. Vanderbilt II (b. 1950) _Golden Days_ [1998] The Long Hot Summer. --title of 1958 film. - CUCKOO SONG --anon [c. 1250] SUMMER is y-comen in, Loude` sing, cuckoo!
