If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
Quotations
Pain
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
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"
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself, and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
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"
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
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.
-Charlie Chaplin
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
