Quotations
Pain
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
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"
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy
Pain is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
There’s nothing more painful than remembering something happy while you are distressed.
-Dante Alighieri
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
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"
