“There are never words for the strongest of our feelings. There is just the pain that we cannot share. Pain we must all feel alone.”

“In order to stay clear of pain, we must know and know why we feel best while having pain.”

“By feeling the sunshine, or pleasure, we end up forgetting all of our miseries, or pains in life.”

“The objective level is not words, and cannot be reached by words alone. We must point our finger and be silent, or we will never reach this level.”

“Alas! by some degree of woe
We every bliss must gain;
The heart can ne'er a transport know
That never feels a pain.”

“He willeth that we set our hearts in the Overpassing : that is to say, from the pain that we feel into the bliss that we trust.”

“Pleasure is never as pleasant as we expected it to be and pain is always more painful. The pain in the world always outweighs the pleasure. If you don't believe it, compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is eating the other.”

“How could anyone seriously believe that animals do not feel pain? After all, we have virtually the same evidence for animal pain that we have for human pain……So, on what grounds could anyone possible say animals are insensitive to pain?”

“It is a sweet, albeit most painful, feeling
To know we are regretted.”

“We would die before you would feel pain.”
