-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
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
Pain will come with time, but time will heal the pain.
-Anthony Liccione
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
