Misery Builds Character/Quotes
"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."—Friedrich Nietzsche
"Is despair an excellence or a defect? Purely dialectically, it is both. If only the abstract idea of despair is considered, without the thought of someone in despair, it must be regarded as a surpassing excellence. Consequently, to be able to despair is an infinite advantage over the beasts, and yet to be in despair is not only the worst misfortune and misery—no, it is ruination!"—Søren Kierkegaard
"Out of suffering emerge the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars."—Kahlil Gibran
"In order for [my son] to be a responsible adult, he has to be miserable now!"
