Pain wanders through my bones like a lost fire.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.

My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.

My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.

Pain is important: how we evade it, how we succumb to it, how we deal with it, how we transcend it.

Pain and death are part of life. To reject them is to reject life itself.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Pain and pleasure, like light and darkness, succeed each other.

The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.

It's odd that you can get so anesthetized by your own pain or your own problem that you don't quite fully share the hell of someone close to you.

It takes courage...to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

Everyone can relate to love, hurt, pain, learning how to forgive, needing to get over, needing the power of God in their life.

Give it all up, the pain, the hurt, the anger, and make room for lovely things to rush in and fill you full.

Egotism is the anesthetic given by a kindly nature to relieve the pain of being a damned fool.
