Cerutty On Pain and It's Benefit

The above is a classic quote by Cerutty. But, like most quotes, they are too often relegated to a poster on the wall or used as a screensaver on someone's computer, not experienced as intended.
Cerutty was a believer in regularly pushing your body to the limit, not only for the physical benefits but the mental and emotional ones as well.


The following quote is a quote by Ernst Junger I came across while reading a book by Paul Waggener. I wouldn't be surprised if Cerutty, being as well read as he was, hadn't seen the following:


"Whenever one approaches the points where man proves himself to be equal or superior to pain, one gains access to the sources of his power and the secret hidden behind his dominion.
Tell me your relation to pain, and I will tell you who you are."


Pain--can be much more than just something that 'hurts'.
