love and pain come in a package

"Pain and pleasure, like light and darkness, succeed each other." - Laurence Sterne

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain!"

Jim Morrison

“Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.”

Anthony Hopkins

“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.”

Paulo Coelho

“Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain”

William Faulkner

“When thought becomes excessively painful, action is the finest remedy”

Salman Rushdie


I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love..
Mother Teresa
