There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

People think it's great to be ahead of your time, but it can actually be quite painful.

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

Pain is no evil, unless it conquers us.

There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience.

I've certainly experienced physical pain in my life.

From a Darwinian perspective, it is clear what pain is doing. It's a warning: 'Don't do that again.' If you burn yourself, you're never going to pick up a live coal again.
