Quote by Christiaan Barnard

Suffering isn't ennobling, recovery is.

Suffering isn't ennobling, recovery is.

Summary

This quote suggests that while suffering can be an inevitable part of life, it is not what brings growth or makes someone stronger. Instead, the process of recovery from suffering is what truly transforms and uplifts individuals. It implies that adversity alone does not bring about wisdom or character development, but rather it is the ability to overcome and heal from hardships that allows individuals to develop resilience, strength, and personal growth. Recovery is seen as a more empowering and transformative experience, where one can emerge stronger and more elevated than before.

Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is took weak and fuddled to shake off.
