Pain has its own noble joy, when it starts a strong consciousness of life, from a stagnant one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Joy always came after pain.
Pain is a beautiful thing. When you feel pain, you know you're alive.
Suffering is a kind of ecstasy in a way. Having pain all the time makes me terribly, terribly grateful for every moment I've got.
That's the great paradox of living on this earth, that in the midst of great pain you can have great joy as well. If we didn't have those things we'd just be numb.

Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Pain can be vitalising; it gives intensity in the place of vagueness and emptiness. If we don't suffer, how do we know that we live?
Pain is life - the sharper, the more evidence of life.
To give pain is the tyranny; to make happy, the true empire of beauty.
Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.
