We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
Quotations
Pain
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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 are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
"The Book of Disquiet"
You’d think that silence would be peaceful. But really, it’s painful.
-David Levithan
"Will Grayson, Will Grayson"
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 will leave you, when you let go.
-Jeremy Aldana
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
-Aristotle
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"
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"
