Quotes about pain

To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge.

But pain may be a gift to us. Remember, after all, that pain is one of the ways we register in memory the things that vanish, that are taken away.

Pain is part of memory, and memory is a God-given gift.

I do that a lot of authors still do not do is allow people to write directly to me. I get about 50 fan letters a day, and I answer every single one of them myself. It takes a lot of time and sometimes it's a pain in the neck and I answer the same questions over and over.

I can't believe you wrote me back", and I think it really means a lot for them to know that the author values them just as much as they value the author. Steven Tyler
