“We must suffer. Our five sense are dulled by inordinate pleasure.”
Thoughts in Solitude (1956)
Context: We must suffer. Our five sense are dulled by inordinate pleasure. Penance makes them keen, gives them back their natural vitality, and more. Penance clears the eye of conscience and of reason. It helps think clearly, judge sanely. It strengthens the action of our will.

Context: Never let anger, or outrage, or fear affect you. That is easy advice to give, but hard to follow. Men will bait you, they will laugh at you, they will jeer. But it is just noise, Kiall. They will hurt the people you love. They will do anything to make you angry or emotional. But the only way you can make them suffer is to win. And to do that you must remain cool.
“Who breathes must suffer, and who thinks must mourn;
And he alone is bless'd who ne'er was born.”
Solomon on the Vanity of the World, book iii, line 240; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
“Love affairs are for emotional sprinters; the pleasures of love are for the emotional marathoners.”
“If you did not suffer from emotions, from feelings, you could be as powerful as we are.”
