I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes no matter what you do for a living.

With faith and courage generations of Armenians have overcome great suffering and proudly preserved their culture traditions and religion and have told the story of the genocide to an often indifferent world.

If one suffers we all suffer. Togetherness is strength. Courage.

Courage! I have shown it for years think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?

Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us all that gives value to life we owe to it pity we owe to it courage we owe to it all the virtues.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

I think trying to be cool is the worst possible ambition - and I have never suffered from it.

I don't think the Palestinian people or Afghan children or some other things I'm concerned about are at the top of other people's agendas - not right now when America is going through such a recession and people are suffering across the board financially. But I think all that will change.

When it becomes more difficult to suffer than to change... you will change.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately although it is true it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience we suffer.
