"I knew that suffering did not enoble; it……" — W. Somerset Maugham

"I knew that suffering did not enoble; it degraded. It made men selfish, petty and suspicious. It absorbed them in small things...it made them less than men; and I wrote ferociously that we learn resignation not by our own suffering, but by the suffering of others."

W. Somerset Maugham
