“The history of a soldier's wound beguiles the pain of it.”
Book I, Ch. 25.
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1760-1767)
As quoted in Jim Morrison: Ten Years Gone (1981) by Lizzie James writing for Creem Magazine http://archives.waiting-forthe-sun.net/Pages/Interviews/JimInterviews/TenYearsGone.html
Context: People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.
“The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain”
Oprah Magazine (2004)
“It's very easy to feel someone's pain when you love them.”

“If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names.”
