More From Ian Mcewan

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.

Children grow rapidly, forget the centuries-long embrace from their parents, which to them lasted but seconds. children become adults, live far from their parents, live their own houses, learn ways of their own, suffer pain, grow old. children curse their parents for their wrinkled skin and hoarse voices. those now old children also want to stop time, but at another time. they want to freeze their own children at the center of time.

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.

Once we have forgiven, however, we get a new freedom to forget. this time forgetting is a sign of health; it is not a trick to avoid spiritual surgery. we can forget because we have been healed. but even if it is easier to forget after we forgive, we should not make forgetting a test of our forgiving. the test of forgiving lies with healing the lingering pain of the past, not with forgetting the past has ever happened.

Is it not strange that the descendants of those pilgrim fathers who crossed the atlantic to preserve their own freedom of opinion have always proved themselves intolerant of the spiritual liberty of others?

All blame is a waste of time. no matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. the only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. you may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.

Only work which is the product of inner compulsion can have spiritual meaning.

My family was jehovah's witnesses, which is a really tough religion. it kind of deterred me from religion for a long time. they still practice, but i don't. but i always remained spiritual, and had a belief that there is a god. i'm trying to find my way, you know?
