Quotations
Pain
There is the solitude of suffering, when you go through darkness that is lonely, intense, and terrible. Words become powerless to express your pain; what others hear from your words is so distant and different from what you are actually suffering.
- John O'donohue
"Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom"
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
"The Book of Disquiet"
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
If life is a journey then let my soul travel and share your pain.
-Santosh Kalwar
If carefully seen, when shocked or hurt, if you are able to express your feelings,
you are relieved of it and the same when mistakenly suppressed; then that pain
in its perverted form becomes your destiny.
-Deep Trivedi
Pain is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
Pain and joy are like light and darkness; they are two sides of the same medal. They are interdependent and inseparably connected to each other.
-Trinley Thaye Dorje "Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje"
Pain will come with time, but time will heal the pain.
-Anthony Liccione
