Quotes About Pain

Scares of my past were drawn out on my body, still four years later scares on me fading. Yet even now the pain is still deep within my eyes.

During those few days and nights, pain had moved into S. as if into its own house. She felt occupied. A previously unknown illness had entered her and was now eating away at her.

Whatever you do, don't shut off your pain. Accept your pain and remain vulnerable. However desperate you become, don't shut off your pain because it is in fact trying to hand you a precious gift -- the chance of discovery through spiritual practice, what lies behind sorrow.

The more capable people are of inflicting pain, the deeper, more buried they are in illusion and fear.

Suffering teaches joy.

I thought about how stupid it is, that all of us are born destined to desire somebody else, though desire brings with it such disappointment and pain. Humankind's history must be scored bloody with heartbreak. This hankering for affection is a blight upon us.
