Quotations
Pain
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy
Best way to get rid of pain is to have some more of it....you will feel better!!
-Anonymous
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"
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"
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
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
-Aristotle
