If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.

Quotations
Pain
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"
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 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"
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
Pain is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows.
-Nick Bantock
"Griffin and Sabine"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
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
