"Is suffering so very serious? I have come……" — Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
"Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful. I agree that it's hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It's no more worthy of respect than old age or illness."
