Pain Quotes
World's use is cold, world's love is vain, world's cruelty is bitter bane; but is not the fruit of pain.
Coleridge, Samuel T.

de Montaigne, Michel

Eliot, George
Pain is no evil unless it conquers us. -- George Eliot
Jefferson, Thomas

Pope, Alexander
You purchase pain with all that joy can give, and die of nothing but a rage to live.
Sidney, Philip
The scourge of life, and death's extreme disgrace, the smoke of hell - that monster called Pain. -- Philip Sidney
