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!

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.

Wrongly do men cry out against experience and with bitter re- proaches accuse her of deceitfulness. Let experience alone, and rather turn your complaints against your own ignorance, which causes you to be so carried away by your vain and insensate desires as to expect from experience things which are not within her power!
