“I will say without reservations that from my point of view there can be no abstractions. Any shape or area that has not the pulsating concreteness of real flesh and bones, its vulnerability to pleasure or pain is nothing at all. Any picture that does not provide the environment in which the breath of life can be drawn does not interest me.” DoeRealPainInterestPleasureViewsEnvironmentShapesAreasBreathsBonesPoint Of ViewFleshVulnerabilityAbstractionReservations Author:Mark Rothko
“Even the clearest localization of pain in one area may, in fact, be originating from a distant area .... The reference of pain implies the existence of convergence of inputs within the spinal cord. This leads to the necessary involvement in central neural circuits in the simplest of peripheral disorders. It also leads to the possibility that the basic disorder is entirely central.” MayFactsPainExistencePossibilityAreasTherapyInjuryDisorderSimplestInvolvementInputCircuitsCordsConvergenceSpinal Cord Author:Patrick David Wall
“I took one glance at her in that hospital bed under the dull light and recognised the look on her face, which I'd seen on donors often enough before.

“I feel like we're all here on this planet, and intimacy is important. I can't bear small talk, it's awful. I want to get beyond that thing of discussing how the weather is a bit better today than it was yesterday, and how this is a nice restaurant. I want to get to what are the problems, what's really going on. Are you in love? Are you in a lot of pain? What's really going on in your life?

“Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on.” PeopleMatterHappensPainLastsFallThreeGrowsChallengesFiveFourMinutesGoes OnAreasWake UpNo Matter WhatAthleteChampionMusclesGutsDividesNo FearFive MinutesKill MeHave No FearFaintingGreat BodybuildingPassing Out Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
“The emotional aspects of a wilderness experience might be compared to a religious experience. It is particularly valuable for those people whose unconscious associations of pain and discomfort in relationships to man render a deity in human form impossible. Christianity is unacceptable to some people because of the use of the human symbol, but some who can't accept Christ can gain a tremendous sense of peace from relating to uncontaminated areas.” PeopleMenHumansUseMightPainFormChristReligiousAcceptingChristianityEnvironmentImpossibleEmotionalGainsAreasAspectValuableSymbolsUnconsciousWildernessAssociationDeitiesDiscomfortReligious ExperienceHuman Form Author:Donald Glover

“Do we pour $40 billion into grandiose Louisiana engineering projects or do we instead put up no trespassing- signs in the areas below sea level? All are hard choices with various merits and pains.

“More times than not, my pain stems from an area in which I've been least authentic. The second I identify the source - the area of my inauthenticity - I begin to feel better. This allows me to take complete responsibility for my emotional discomfort, and the awareness enables me to move beyond the blockage. I become energetically unstuck, allowing the pain to pass through me.” FeelsPainMovingResponsibilityAwarenessEmotionalSourceAreasMore TimeAllowingFeel BetterStemDiscomfortBlockage Author:Romany Malco

“"Clove!" Cato's voice is much nearer now. I can tell by the pain in it that he sees her on the ground. "You better run now, Fire Girl," says Thresh. I don't need to be told twice. I flip over and my feet dig into the hard-packed earth as I run away from Thresh and Clove and the sound of Cato's voice. Only when I reach the woods do I turn back for an instant. Thresh and both large backpacks are vanishing over the edge of the plain into the area I've never seen. Cato kneels beside Clove, spear in hand, begging her to stay with him. In a moment, he will realize it's futile; she can't be saved.” NeedsI CanHardMomentsHandsRunningEarthPainTurnsGirlSoundVoiceRealizingFireFeetAreasEdgesWoodsSavedInstantRunning AwayFlipBeggingSpearsVanishingOver The EdgeCatoThresh Author:Suzanne Collins
