Perhaps there is no agony worse than the tedium I experienced waiting for Something to Happen.

There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain.

I've always been scared to death of pain - afraid, even, to think of it.

I hated it when people tried to force me out when I wasn't ready. It was very painful, and it actually pushed me away from doing so.

If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.

If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven't been born yet.

Do not consider painful what is good for you.

Life is painful, nasty and short... in my case it has only been painful and nasty.

Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.

You might as well enjoy the day - you never know when and how painfully it could all end.
