Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it.
Jim Butcher
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
Barbara Kingsolver
Pain is life - the sharper, the more evidence of life
Charles Lamb
Pain will force even the truthful to speak falsely
Publilius Syrus
The pain is sometimes preferable to the treatment
Indian Proverb
What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless.
Ovid
I seen nights full of pain, days of the same.
Lil Wayne
You never read about the real pain. It lives where no word can travel.
Vanna Bonta
I'm sorry. I can love you. I can grieve for you, or with you. I can share your pain. But I cannot judge you.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.
Aeschylus

Aeschylus
Yes, perhaps that was it. For decades now the picture of the world painted by the scientists had become strange, distant, unbelievable. Far easier, then, to ignore it than try to understand. Things were too complicated. Why bother? Turn on the telly, luv. Right.
Gregory Benford
Knowledge is pain and that is why it hurts to know.
Drake
Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it's a big part, and sometimes it isn't, but either way, it's part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you're alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.
Jim Butcher
Well, I'm a painter, I was trained as a painterI seem to have spent a little less time painting than I might've doneBut it didn't transcend the feeling of playing at UFO and those sort of places with the lights and that, the fact that the group was getting bigger and bigger.
