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"
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 will leave you, when you let go.
-Jeremy Aldana
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
-Aristotle
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"Animal Dreams"
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
You’d think that silence would be peaceful. But really, it’s painful.
