About This Quote
Pain is the only true companion we have. It is not a mindless and senseless companion, but a friendly and caring companion. When we feel pain, we know that the pain is real and that it will continue to hurt us. We can learn from our pain and use it as a lesson to make sure we do not repeat the same mistakes again.
Pain doesn't kill us, but love for another does. Love is what kills us, and love is what brings us back to life again.
