        “Life is short and it hurts. Love is the only drug that works.”

        John Coit, via Sunbeams (Page 98)

          “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”

          James Baldwin, via Sunbeams (Page 91)

            “Behind joy and laughter there may be a temperament, coarse, hard, and callous. But behind sorrow there is always sorrow. Pain, unlike pleasure, wears no mask.”

            Oscar Wilde, via Sunbeams (Page 82)

              “When an apprentice gets hurt, or complains of being tired, the workmen and peasants have this fine expression: ‘It is the trade entering his body.’ Each time that we have some pain to go through, we can say to ourselves quite truly that it is the universe, the order and beauty of the world, and the obedience of God that are entering our body.”

              Simone Weil, Waiting For God, via Sunbeams (Page 75)

                “Go with the pain, let it take you… Open your palms and your body to the pain. It comes in waves like a tide, and you must be open as a vessel lying on the beach, letting it fill you up and then, retreating, leaving you empty and clear… With a deep breath—it has to be as deep as the pain—one reaches a kind of inner freedom from pain, as though the pain were not yours but your body’s. The spirit lays the body on the alter.”

                Anne Morrow Lindbergh, War Within And Without, via Sunbeams (Page 57)

                  “At one time or another, we all try to silence painful emotions. But when we succeed in feeling nothing we lose the only means we have of knowing what hurts us, and why.”

                  Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life (Page 27)
