Quotations
Pain
Pain is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy

- John O'donohue
"Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom"
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Pain will come with time, but time will heal the pain.
-Anthony Liccione
If life is a journey then let my soul travel and share your 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
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.
