Pain Quotes
-
How could people like these, without words to put to their emotions and passions, manage? They could, at best, only suffer dumbly.

Our greatest hope is for the experience of joy, and often we are not as smart as we think we are when it comes to predicting what would bring us that joy. . .

It is best to hope for an experience of life in all its fullness-a life that can embrace both joy and sorrow, and will still be at peace.
