Pain is real when you get other people to believe in it.
If no one believes in it but you, your pain is madness or hysteria.
-Naomi Wolf
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
-Dorothy Parker
If I had to choose between pain and nothing I would always choose pain.
-William Faulkner
