Quote by Wietske Blijjenberg

“He loathed the sword so that he didn't have to loathe himself - not that he didn't do both anyway, but he liked to keep his options open. He liked to pretend that loathing the sword eased the pain a bit. It didn't, of course. He doubted that anything could ease the pain.”

These feelings permeated my skin, seeping deep within the cells of my body.”

“Amidst the sea of joy-seeking juveniles, Be the one anomaly that feasts on pain. Seek out the pain among those around, Rush down to heal like monsoon rain.”

“In some cultures, pain is a hardship to be overcome. In others, pain is a natural part of life, something that everyone experiences and that doesn’t need to be feared and defeated. Understanding how different cultures perceive pain helps us better treat our patients.”
