I don't like pain.

People think I write weird, but there are people at Death Equinox that make me look like Danielle Steele.

I make a genuine distinction between loneliness and aloneness. I know what each is like. There are times I'm lonely. But there are also many times when I need to be alone, when I don't want the feeling of someone else in the house other than the cats.

A man of pleasure is a man of pains.

When pain can't bless, heaven quits us in despair.

If you can sit with your pain, listen to your pain and respect your pain — in time you will move through your pain.
