Quotes About Pain

Cuando el dolor es muy grande el sufrimiento es silencioso
~ Rubem Fonseca
It's amazing how we will suffer pain and abuse to keep our lives predictable. We'll let our inner voices brutalize us, rather than live with the possibility that we might be wrong about how we see things. We'll think, 'Well at least it's a pain that's familiar'. Uncertainty
~ Ruby Wax
There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and woman to fill our day; But when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers & Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
~ Rudyard Kipling
The Man Pack are angry. They throw stones and talk child's talk. My mouth is bleeding. Let me run away.
~ Rudyard Kipling
One paid for one's knowledge with one's skin.
~ Rudyard Kipling
Our obsession with each other was like the isolation that comes with great pain; it was like extreme sadness. Without our children we might have never discovered our differences, which is what has made our abiding love for each other possible.
~ Russell Banks
She was like a stranger to me then, a stranger whose life had just been made utterly meaningless. I know this because I felt the same way. Meaning had gone wholly and and in one clot right out of my life too, and as result I'm sure I was like a stranger to her as well. Our individual pain was so great that that we could not recognize any other.
~ Russell Banks
No matter how much bullying they inflict on my body, as long as I have this hope, I can endure any pain.
~ Ruth Ozeki
In trying to stop your tears, I was already obeying the officer's command to the letter, not out of patriotic allegiance, but out of cowardice, in order not to feel the pain of my own heart, breaking.
~ Ruth Ozeki
Jinsei no Itami
~ Ruth Ozeki
You don't know what cold is until you've experienced the cold you feel when the blood is draining out of your body.
~ Ry? Murakami
I remembered a friend who'd died of a bad liver, and what he'd always said. Yeah, he'd said, maybe it's just my idea, but really it always hurts, the times it don't hurt is when we just forget, we just forget it hurts, you know, it's not just because my belly's all rotten, everybody always hurts. So when it really starts stabbing me, somehow I feel sort of peaceful, like I'm myself again. It's hard to take, sure, but I feel sort of peaceful. Because it's always hurt ever since I was born.
~ Ry? Murakami
To be able to choose your own pain - it's a little scary, she thought, but it's wonderful, too.
~ Ry? Murakami
My play over, watching the sun go down, I'd frown and blow on the wound, and then I felt a sense of peace, as if I and the gray evening landscape were confiding in each other. Just the opposite from heroin or melting together in a woman's juices, the pain made me stand out from my surroundings, the pain made me feel as if I were shining. And I thought this shining self could get along well with the lovely orange light of the setting sun.
~ Ry? Murakami
Poder elegir tu propio dolor; da un poco de miedo, pensó, pero también es maravilloso.
~ Ry? Murakami
sometimes things happen that no one hopes for. Events that cause everything you've worked toward, the life you've carefully constructed piece by piece, to come tumbling down all around you. No one is to blame, but you're left with a wound you can't heal on your own and can't believe you'll ever learn to accept, so you struggle to escape the pain. Only time can heal wounds as deep as that
~ Ry? Murakami
It was as if he'd abandoned himself to his despair, but in fact, Aoyama knew, he was fervently searching for something. Something that, once found, would keep him from having to feel the pain of his wound. To just entrust oneself to time was to exterminate oneself, to temporarily accept a kind of death.
~ Ry? Murakami
De los sufrimientos, los que más afligen, son los que uno mismo ha escogido.
~ Sófocles
Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart. As long as it stays I am ironic — if it is pulled out I shall die.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
Just as gold is purified in the fire, so the soul is purified in sufferings.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
Mükemmel aÅŸk, insan?n kendisini mutsuz edecek kiÅŸiyi sevmesidir.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
let us speak of the wish and thereby of the sufferings; let us properly linger over this, convinced that one may learn more profoundly and more reliably what the highest is by considering suffering than by observing achievements, where so much that is distracting is present.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
From earliest childhood, an arrow of grief has been embedded in my heart. As long as it remains there, I am ironic — if it is drawn out, I will die.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
What is certain is that to become of interest, for one's life to be interesting, has nothing to do with what you can turn your hand to but is a fateful privilege which, like every privilege in the world of spirit, can only be purchased in deep pain.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
