Pain can change you, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom.

Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.

No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.

True sorrow is as rare as true love

I do not ask how the wounded person feels. I myself become the wounded.

Behind every beautiful thing, there’s been some kind of pain.

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.

Whereas the beautiful is limited, the sublime is limitless, so that the mind in the presence of the sublime, attempting to imagine what it cannot, has pain in the failure but pleasure in contemplating the immensity of the attempt.

The pain passes, but the beauty remains.

It’s pain that changes our lives.

Life is very interesting. In the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
