About This Quote
Pain or love or danger makes you real again.... Pain, love, and danger are three things that bring out the inner you in each of us. When we experience pain, love, or danger in our lives, we realize that we are real people. We realize that it is not just about making money and being successful, but about being honest in our relationships with others.
