Pain Quotes - page 4

It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony. (Benjamin Britten)

The pain of sexual frustration, of repressed tenderness, of denied curiosity, of isolation in the ego, of greed, suppressed rebellion, of hatred poisoning all love and generosity, permeates our sexuality. What we love we destroy.

Germaine Greer

I could not help it: the restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes.

Charlotte Brontë

There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure, and that is pain. Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him.

Umberto Eco

Joy always came after pain.

Guillaume Apollinaire

Norman Cousins

A feeling of sadness and longing That is not akin to pain, And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles the rain.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Pain has its reasons, pleasure is totally indifferent.

Francis Picabia

Pain or love or danger makes you real again... (Jack Kerouac)

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain.

Desire is the memory of pleasure and fear is the memory of pain. Both make the mind restless. (...)

Nisargadatta Maharaj

There will always be a part, and always a very large part of every community, that have no care but for themselves, and whose care for themselves reaches little further than impatience of immediate pain, and eagerness for the nearest good.

Samuel Johnson

Then with no fiery throbbing pain, No cold gradations of decay, Death broke at once the vital chain, And freed his soul the nearest way.

Samuel Johnson

To act, you must know pain. You must know what it means to be in love, what it means to be rejected.

Preity Zinta

It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.

George Bernard Shaw

We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation.
