Quotations
Pain
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"
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy
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"
Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows.
-Nick Bantock

-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
Pain will come with time, but time will heal the pain.
-Anthony Liccione
Real pain can alone cure us of imaginary ills. We feel a thousand miseries till we are lucky enough to feel misery.

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
