Pain Quotes
-
The ordinary patient goes to his doctor because he is in pain or some other discomfort and wants to be comfortable again; he is not in pursuit of the ideal of health in any direct sense. The doctor on the other hand wants to discover the pathological condition and control it if he can. The two are thus to some degree at cross purposes from the first, and unless the affair is brought to an early and happy conclusion this diversion of aims is likely to become more and more serious as the case goes on.
Wilfred Trotter -
One patient had severe pre-treatment pain resulting from skeletal meta-stases...at 5 weeks after the onset of (laetrile and metabolic) therapy, she claimed complete relief.
Charles Moertel
-
There was a good deal to be said, Hilary decided, for middle age and infirmity. The years in which one demanded much of life were left behind, together with the bitterness of not getting what one wanted. One's values, too, were altered. Gifts that once one took for granted, sunshine and birdsong, freedom from pain, sleep and one's daily bread, seemed now so extraordinarily precious.
Elizabeth Goudge -
The book and the film This Changes Everything fed into each other in ways that were compounding and very exciting. The pain was shared.
Avi Lewis -
How can it be, I wondered, that we can be lying in bed next to a person we love wholly and helplessly, a person we love more than our own breath, and still ache to think of the one who caused us pain all those years ago? It's the betrayal of this second heart of ours, its flesh tied off like a fingertip twined tightly round with a single hair, blue-tinged from lack of blood. The shameful squeeze of it.
Carolyn Parkhurst -
We ought to love our Maker for His own sake, without either hope of good or fear of pain.
Miguel de Cervantes -
Having a biological system that keeps pumping out stress hormones to deal with real or imagined threats leads to physical problems: sleep disturbances, headaches, unexplained pain, oversensitivity to touch or sound. Being so agitated or shut down keeps them from being able to focus their attention and concentration. To relieve their tension, they engage in chronic masturbation, rocking, or self-harming activities (biting, cutting, burning, and hitting themselves, pulling their hair out, picking at their skin until it bled). It also leads to difficulties with language processing and fine-motor coordination. Spending all their energy on staying in control, they usually have trouble paying attention to things, like schoolwork, that are not directly relevant to survival, and their hyperarousal makes them easily distracted.
Bessel van der Kolk -
Childbirth calls into question our very existence, requiring an expectant couple to confront not only new life but death, pain, fear and, most of all, change.
Elizabeth Noble
-
I took out my journal. I'd been avoiding writing in it. I think I was afraid all my anger would spill out on the pages. And I just didn't want to look at all that rage. It was a different kind of pain. A pain I couldn't stand. I tried not to think. I just started writing.
Benjamin Alire Saenz -
Art is only a way of expressing pain.
John Lennon The Beatles -
Pain is never added to pain. It multiplies.
Sherman Alexie -
Pain is not love. Love flowers; love gives without taking; love is serene and calm.
Erica Jong -
O ye! who teach the ingenious youth of nations, Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain, I pray ye flog them upon all occasions, It mends their morals, never mind the pain.
Lord Byron -
Every discord is a harmony not understood. Happiness is a disease, and pain, a medicine.
Narayanananda Swami

Alessandra Ambrosio -
When you have His joy in your heart, it doesn't necessarily mean your pain or hurt will be taken away. It means you'll be able to bear it.
Adrian Rogers -
We turn pain into suffering by adding on all kinds of beliefs, interpretations and judgments to it.
Brenda Shoshanna -
Learn the lesson of your pain
Gary Null -
Pain reconciles one to existence. Infinite resignation is that shirt in the old fable. The thread is spun with tears, bleached by tears, the shirt sewn in tears, but then it also gives better protection than iron. The secret in life is that everyone must sew it for himself.
Soren Kierkegaard -
...when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure.
Jane Austen
-
“… maybe you can tell how much pain someone is in by watching them laugh.”
Viviane Katrina Louise -
The best part is getting to the top 'cause the pain's all over.
Dan Osman -
This pain, this dying, this is just normal. This is how life is. In fact, I realize, there never was an earthquake. Life is just this way, broken, and I am crazy for dreaming of something else.
Miranda July -
But the gray and the cold are haunted by a beauty akin to pain, by a sense of a something wanted that never will come again.
William Wetmore Story
