To hurt is as human as to breathe.

When one is gripped by excruciating physical pain, one is always shocked at just how frightful it can be.

The deeper the feeling, the greater the pain

In real pain we have no other choice but to learn to ask for help and on a daily basis. Pain tells us we belong and cannot live forever alone or in isolation. Pain makes us understand reciprocation.

Pain has a way of making us more honest.

Pain is real when you get other people to believe in it. If no one believes in it but you, your pain is madness or hysteria.

Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.

Sometimes, pain is all that lets you know you're alive.

Pain is universal. We all experience pain, loss, and death the same way.

Pain is a symphony - a complex response that includes not just a distinct sensation but also motor activity, a change in emotion, a focusing of attention, a brand-new memory.

Pain engraves a deeper memory.

It's pain that changes our lives.

Pain is truth; all else is subject to doubt.

Pain is pain. It needs no description.
