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

“I hurt easy, I just don't show it, you can hurt someone and not even know it”

“People say the truth hurts. Hell no, it hurts even more if you do a whole bunch of foolishness to try and avoid it.”

“The only thing worse than being hurt is everyone knowing that you're hurt.”

“Sometimes a question can hurt more than an answer.”

“Life is so damned hard, so damned hard… It just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. That's the last and worst thing it does.”

“The more a man is trained to “be a man,” the more he is trained to protect women and children, not hurt women and children. He is trained to volunteer to die before even a stranger is hurt – especially a woman or child.”

“I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.”

“I want you to be honest with me. Even if it hurts. Although I would prefer for it not to hurt.”

“It pains me deeply, or more deeply than any of you can imagine, to be perceived by so many members of my race as doing them harm. All the sacrifice, all the long hours of preparation were to help, not to hurt. But what hurts more, much more, is the amount of time and attention spent on manufactured controversies and media sideshows when so many problems cry out for constructive attention.”
