Quotations
Pain
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"Animal Dreams"
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
-Deep Trivedi
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.
-Charlie Chaplin
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
Pain is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
Real pain can alone cure us of imaginary ills. We feel a thousand miseries till we are lucky enough to feel misery.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
-Aristotle
