“There was pain and then there was agony. Hello, agony. I’d been waiting for you. Finish me off. Please.”
“That agony, that pain, that struggle, that rejection takes you to the place of grasping your dreams.”
“I guess one of the great agonies of life is that we are constantly trying to finish that which is unfinishable”
“What was the difference between love and the agony of waiting? Like love, the agony of waiting began in the muscles somewhere around the upper belly but soon spread out to the chest, the thighs, and the forehead, to invade the entire body with numbing force.”
“We'd been assured it wouldn't be painful, though she might experience 'discomfort,' a term beloved of the medical profession that seems to be a synonym for agony that isn't yours.”
“Excruciating agony makes me cranky.”
