Quotations
Pain
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
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
-Aristotle
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
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
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Pain is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself, and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
