This is as bad proverb

 This is as bad and divisive a period in town life as I've seen. It's painful to see what it's come to.

 Intellectually, we know for certain that we are on this planet for a very brief period, yet we tend to live as if we were going to live forever, as if there were no end to our life or to the lives of our friends and family. This not-so-subtle denial of death persists throughout our lives, unless we are lucky enough to get a dramatic, usually painful and invariably life-changing wake-up call. The moments of our lives are ephemeral gifts, and we can not afford to miss even one of them. Happily, you don't have to wait for a painful wake-up call. You can notice the miracle of your life right now. Awareness is a choice.

 We didn't agree with the claim that it was any type of violation of the separation between church and state. We hope that this will be the last chapter in this painful and divisive fight.

 For a town our size, this is going to be a huge issue for all of us to get an understanding. I hope we are able to take our time -- I hope it doesn't become a divisive issue for the town.

 We live in a period where these symbols are taking on very strong connotations and very divisive ones.

 When James disappeared I had to disappear too, and that was a very painful thing in my life. Painful because gay and lesbian people know that not being seen is very hard.

 She knew everyone in town and everything that was going on. And she was probably the best proof reader I ever saw in my life. She could spot a comma out of place, a period out of place or a misspelled word. She was just phenomenal.

 As a mom, I am going through a very painful experience and my child is going through a very traumatic and painful experience. So I didn't want to say anything that could affect him later in life.

 I think we're in the middle of this painful period and we're just going to churn around for a while.

 Most vices demand considerable self-sacrifices. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that a vicious life is a life of uninterrupted pleasure. It is a life almost as wearisome and painful -- if strenuously led -- as Christian's in The Pilgrim's Progress.
  Aldous Huxley

 Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. Life is painful, nasty and short . . . in my case it has only been painful and nasty.
  Djuna Barnes

 The word career is a divisive word. It's a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.
  Grace Paley

 It is long and hard and painful to create life: it is short and easy to steal the life others have made
  George Bernard Shaw

 Today closes a difficult and painful period in the lives of my family, my friends and myself. But the sun is shining and it feels good.

 ……. if we accept the reality that life is difficult, demanding and often painful, then the day-to-day living of it is no longer so onerous. In accepting life as it really is, we transcend it. Or, as they say on Wall Street, ‘The market has already discounted the bad news.’
