PAIN
Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they might have been.
William Hazlitt
No smile is so beautiful as the one that struggles through tears
Have a good cry, wash out your heart. If you keep it inside it'll tear you apart. Sometimes you lose, but you're gonna win if you just hang in.
-Dr. Hook
The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.
-John Vance Cheney
To laugh with others is one of life's great pleasures. To be laughed at by others is one of life's great hurts. --Frank Tyger
"A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means alot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go."
"Our deepest, most painful wounds not only leave us with scars that we bear forever but also, if we make our peace with them, leave us wiser, stronger, more sensitive than we otherwise would have been had we not been afflicted with them."
-Renita J. Weems
"Pain is part of being alive, and we need to learn that. Pain does not last forever, nor is it necessarily unbearable, and we need to be taught that."
-Rabbi Harold Kushner
