Quotations
Pain
Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows.
-Nick Bantock
"Griffin and Sabine"
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy
There’s nothing more painful than remembering something happy while you are distressed.
-Dante Alighieri
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
Pain will leave you, when you let go.
-Jeremy Aldana
