Quotations
Pain
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
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"Animal Dreams"
Pain is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
