And 't is a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.”

“The love that is not all pain is not all love.”

“Ah, sigh for us whose hearts unseeing
Point all their passionate love in vain,
And blinded in the joy of being,
Meet only when pain touches pain.”

“There's no love without pain.”

“Pain and suffering, they are a secret. Kindness and love, they are a secret. But I have learned that kindness and love can pay for pain and suffering.”

“If it is so painful to love and to be charged with this electric current, how much more painful must it be to a woman and to be the current, and to inspire love.”

“She was in pain and I loved her, sort of loved her, I guess, so I kind of had to love her pain, too.”

“Nothing satisfies God but the voluntary sacrifice of love. The pain of Christ gave God no pleasure — only the love that was tested by pain — the love of perfect obedience.”

“Pain is just a consequence of love.”

“Love is the sweetest pain inside.”
