“Connections only caused a ripping pain no one deserved.”

“It is one of life's great ironies that most people's only connection to success is their attachment to the pain of not having achieved it.”

“There are only three sins - causing pain, causing fear, and causing anguish. The rest is window dressing.”

“A 'civilization' that makes such a ridiculous fuss about alleged 'war crimes' - acts of violence against the actual or potential enemies of one's cause - and tolerates slaughterhouses and vivisection laboratories, and circuses and the fur industry (infliction of pain upon creatures that can never be for or against any cause), does not deserve to live.”

“And every one of these events is connected. But not by luck: it's pure cause and effect.”

“Pain is not the same as suffering. Left to itself, the body discharges pain spontaneously, letting go of it the moment that the underlying cause is healed. Suffering is pain that we hold on to. It comes from the mind’s mysterious instinct to believe that pain is good, or that it cannot be escaped, or that the person deserves it.”
