Don’t hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
Strength of character means the ability to overcome resentment against others, to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly.
Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
A broken heart heals when we allow the healing to go as deep as the wound went.
We don’t even ask happiness, just a little less pain.
If I never see you again, I will always carry you, inside, outside, on my fingertips, and at brain edges, and in centers, centers of what I am, of what remains.
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can hurt like hell.
Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.
Knowledge is pain; that’s why it hurts to know.
Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.
What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.
To hell with them. Nothing hurts if you don’t let it.
The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can’t be found.
People fear death even more than pain. It’s strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.
I remember everything. What have I become? My sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end. You could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt.
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Always seek less turbulent skies. Hurt. Fly above it. Betrayal. Fly above it. Anger. Fly above it. You are the one who is flying the plane.
