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"
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.
Pain will leave you, when you let go.
-Jeremy Aldana
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

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
Pain will come with time, but time will heal the pain.
-Anthony Liccione
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
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
There’s nothing more painful than remembering something happy while you are distressed.
-Dante Alighieri
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
