Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

I used to live in los angeles, but i didn't want my kids to grow up in the thick of the obsession with movie-making. there's a lot of sensationalism and superficiality. i wanted to take my kids out of that and raise 'em up elsewhere, and i wanted to stop being preoccupied with whether my star is on the rise or the descent. i can't imagine having a much greater life, and i don't want to be preoccupied with things that don't matter. but of course, ironically, my two oldest daughters have decided that they're going to be actresses.

I’m not at peace anymore. i just want him like i used to in the old days. i want to be eating sandwiches with him. i want to be drinking with him in a bar. i’m tired and i don’t want anymore pain. i want maurice. i want ordinary corrupt human love. dear god, you know i want to want your pain, but i don’t want it now. take it away for a while and give it me another time.

The trees are in misery, and the birds are in misery. i don’t think they sing. they just screech in pain. …taking a close look at what’s around us, there is some sort of harmony: it’s the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder.

If life is an illusion it's a pretty painful one.

I urge you a nearer communion with christ, and a growing communion. there are curtains to be opened in christ that we have never seen before... therefore dig deep, and sweat, and labor. take pains for him, and set aside as much time as you can in each day for him.
Pain Sweat Each Day
He who rejoices even at the stake triumphs not over pain but over the absence of pain where he had anticipated feeling it. a parable.
