“An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kunti, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.”
Bhagavad Gita

Ravi     Shankar
“When you share your misery, it will not diminish. When you fail to share your joy, it diminishes. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with anyone else, as that will only increase the problems. Share your joy with everyone.

Listen to others; yet do not listen. If your mind gets stuck in their problems, not only are they miserable, but you also become miserable.”
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Celebrating Silence

Franz Kafka
“People label themselves with all sorts of adjectives. I can only pronounce myself as 'nauseatingly miserable beyond repair'.”
Franz Kafka, Diaries, 1910-1923

Alain de Botton
“Those who divorce aren't necessarily the most unhappy, just those neatly able to believe their misery is caused by one other person.”
Alain de Botton

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Netochka Nezvanova
