To know the pains ordtak

en To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it. The pains of power are real; its pleasures imaginary.

en And with Epicurus, I conceive that pleasures are to be avoided if greater pains be the consequence, and pains to be coveted that will terminate in greater pleasures
  Michel de Montaigne

en The fools enjoy their pleasures; they must also endure all their pains. From pleasures, arise diseases and the commission of sins.

en Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.
  Bertrand Russell

en Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are
  John Dryden

en Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures.
  Samuel Johnson

en 'Tis the sharpness of our mind that gives the edge to our pains and pleasures.
  Michel de Montaigne

  C.S. Lewis

en You are outside life, you are above life, you have miseries which the ordinary man does not know, you exceed the normal level, and it is for this that men refuse to forgive you, you poison their peace of mind, you undermine their stability. You have irrepressible pains whose essence is to be inadaptable to any known state, indescribable in words. You have repeated and shifting pains, incurable pains, pains beyond imagining, pains which are neither of the body nor of the soul, but which partake of both. And I share your suffering, and I ask you: who dares to ration our relief? We are not going to kill ourselves just yet. In the meantime, leave us the hell alone.
  Antonin Artaud
