-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Quotations
Pain
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
-Barbara Kingsolver

-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
