“Is pain a promise? I was schooled in pain”
Theodore Roethke (1908–1963) American poet
"The Sententious Man," ll. 31-36
Words for the Wind (1958)
Context: p>Is pain a promise? I was schooled in pain,
And found out what I could of all desire;
I weep for what I'm like when I'm alone
In the deep center of the voice and fire.I know the motion of the deepest stone.
Each one's himself, yet each one's everyone.</p
C.G. Jung (1875–1961) Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology

Lois McMaster Bujold Vorkosigan Saga
Vorkosigan Saga, Barrayar (1991)
Context: But pain... seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain?
David Lynch (1946) American filmmaker, television director, visual artist, musician and occasional actor
