Quotes About Pain

She found a dark satisfaction in pain—because that pain came from him.
~ Ayn Rand
I was thinking of people who say that happiness is impossible on earth. Look how hard they all try to find some joy in life. Look how they struggle for it. Why should any living creature exist in pain? By what conceivable right can anyone demand that a human being exist for anything but for his own joy? Every one of them wants it. Every part of him wants it. But they never find it. I wonder why.
~ Ayn Rand
ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.

Christianity is not a promise to enjoy a life without pain nor to be given a shortcut through it. It is a promise that pain, sorrow, sin—ours and others'—will not swallow us, destroy us, define us, or have the final word. Jesus has won the victory. And in him so have we.
~ Stasi Eldredge

~ Stasi Eldredge
Sì, forse la vita è questo. Si procede tra normalità e paura, e si aspetta ogni volta di tornare alla nostra dimora, di trovare un po' di quiete, un rifugio. Magari salendo le scale di casa verremo presi dall'angoscia, avvertendo che il dolore ci ha seguito fino lì. Comunque sia, è un inferno che conosci. Ed è meglio di quella nebbia spietata, meglio che non vedere nulla, meglio della solitudine dei nostri passi.
