Quotations
Pain
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
Pain will come with time, but time will heal the pain.
-Anthony Liccione
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 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"
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
"The Book of Disquiet"
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself, and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
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
