I think it was the first real pain I ever felt in my life, he would tell the others. It wasn't what I thought it would be at all. It didn't put an end to me as a person. I think... it gave me a basis for comparison, finding out you could still exist inside the pain, in spite of the pain. Stephen King
About This Quote

This quote is one of the most powerful ones in my collection. The pain that this man talked about is the kind of pain you feel when you are ill. It isn't an injury or an illness, but it is something that can be very damaging to someone's psyche. That man did not let his pain stop him from living his life, because he knew that it wasn't something to fear.

He grew stronger in the face of it, becoming more aware of his own self-worth and being able to see how much he could accomplish. The pain made him realize just what he was capable of doing in his life, and despite the fact that it hurt so badly, it wasn't something to fear.
