Pain don't hurt.
Some people get it, but most don't.
I like it but I'm not sure that I get it haha
It’s not a movie but it makes me think of this quote from Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running:
I feel this may be the sentiment behind, “Pain don’t hurt.”
Swayze and Murakami, my two muses.
Indeed it is. The line comes from Patrick Swayze's head bouncer character "Dalton" in Road House. He is supposed to be a sort of ascetic warrior philosopher. He eschews convenience, lives in a converted barn without air conditioning, etc. because for him physical suffering is of little importance.
