When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Quotations
Pain
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
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
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 is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
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 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"
Pain will leave you, when you let go.
-Jeremy Aldana
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself, and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
