Nature gives us roses and viruses, earthquakes and moonlight, while being totally indifferent to our joys and pain.

There is a madness that is joy and a madness that is just madness.

Pain and pleasure are a part of everyone's experience: one is not truer than the other.

One should show one's scars, not hide them.

Memories are never as painful as the things one forgets.

Memories are never as poignant as the things one forgets.

The person with an itch can't understand why everyone's not scratching.

Betrayal: a wound so deep even music can't reach it.

Pain never apologizes.
