Quotations
Pain
You’d think that silence would be peaceful. But really, it’s painful.
-David Levithan
"Will Grayson, Will Grayson"
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 is sometimes the cost of a meaningful existence. I can handle that.
-Jeb Dickerson
Pain will leave you, when you let go.
-Jeremy Aldana
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"Animal Dreams"
There’s nothing more painful than remembering something happy while you are distressed.
-Dante Alighieri
Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows.
-Nick Bantock
"Griffin and Sabine"
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
"The Book of Disquiet"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
