"Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart."

"The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say “My heart is broken."

"Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward."

"Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world."

"Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear."

"When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place."
