Quotations
Pain
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy
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
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.
-Charlie Chaplin
There’s nothing more painful than remembering something happy while you are distressed.
-Dante Alighieri
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself, and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"Animal Dreams"
Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows.
-Nick Bantock
"Griffin and Sabine"
If life is a journey then let my soul travel and share your pain.
