"There must, whether the gods see it or not, be something great in the mortal soul. For suffering, it seems, is infinite, and our capacity is without limit."
This quote from Till We Have Faces discusses the reality of the suffering that we experience in our lives. Oural experiences some intensive suffering that she is resentful of, mostly dealing with jealousy of her sister. However, she realizes that yes, the soul has great purpose, and the 'gods' recognize this. It seems to be that this quote connects how our suffering effects our soul.
James 1:2-4 from the New Testament states that we should be joyful in our suffering, for that suffering builds us up in our faith and strengthens us in many facets. This quote alludes to the fact that there is a commonality with how suffering effects our soul, relating to Christian principles.
