“On the other side of pain, there is still love.”

“Pains of love be sweeter far
Than all other pleasures are.”

“Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.”

“The people say that the two seemed to be removed from human experience; that they had gone through pain and had come out on the other side.”

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

“But hurting ourselves to inflict pain on others is just another cry to be loved.”

“On the one side was the sluggish reptilian will for ease and sleep and death, rising sometimes to active hate and destructiveness; on the other side the still blindfold and blundering will for the lucid and coherent spirit.”

“you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever loved them, love them still, even if loving them causes you pain”

“I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow,
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all.”

“On one side was the pain of the victims of the earthquake, and on the other the pain of the victims of the riots. In decisively confronting this great turmoil, I had to single-mindedly focus all the strength given to me by the almighty, on the task of peace, justice and rehabilitation; burying the pain and agony I was personally wracked with.”
