Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.

Quotations
Pain
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
You’d think that silence would be peaceful. But really, it’s painful.
-David Levithan
"Will Grayson, Will Grayson"
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy
Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows.
-Nick Bantock
"Griffin and Sabine"
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
There’s nothing more painful than remembering something happy while you are distressed.
-Dante Alighieri
If life is a journey then let my soul travel and share your pain.
-Santosh Kalwar
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
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
