It is the same with those who criticize. They desire our blood not our pain. But still I must achieve I must seek truth in all things. I must endure for the power I was sent forth, for the world for the children. But have mercy, for I've been bleeding a long time now.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

You're born in pain. Pain is what we are in most of the time, and I think that the bigger the pain, the more God you look for.

I don't want to die, and I don't want to be hurt physically, but if they blow the world up... we're all out of our pain then, forget it, no more problems!

That there is much suffering in the world no one disputes. Which is more likely, that pain and evil are the result of an all-powerful and good God, or the product of uncaring natural forces? The presence of much suffering agrees well with the view that all organic beings have been developed through variation and natural selection.

Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.
