"I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more."

"No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear."

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

"Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead."

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

"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."
