“Phone calls like ours only happen when you've spent several years hurting and being hurt, until every work you utter or hear becomes coded and loaded, as complicated and full of subtext as a bleak and brilliant play.”

“… there are only some many times you can utter "It does not hurt" before it begins to hurt even more than the hurt.”

“This is a touch game. There are times when you've got to play hurt when you've got to block out the pain.”

“It is only when our consciences become tangled that the truth begins to hurt.”

“When we win, nothing hurts; when we lose, everything hurts. And the only time you hear someone use the phrase its only a game is when that person is losing.”

“Work like you don't need the money. Dance like no one is watching. And love like you've never been hurt.”

“Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.”

“Every dollar counts
And every morning hurts
We mostly work to live
Until we live to work”

“Nothing hurts more than When our broken dreams don't let us live. It hurts when someone breaks our trust. It hurts more when someone plays with our feelings. It hurts when we don't get what we deserve. It hurts when someone throws us out from their life.”

“This might hurt a little is universal code for this will definitely hurt a lot”
