“And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.”

“And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;”

“Do not the spirits who dwell in the ether envy man his pain?”

“Who can depart from his pain, and his aloneness without regret??”

“Long were the days of pain I have spent within its walls, and long were the nights of aloneness; and who can depart from his pain and his aloneness without regret?”

“There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.”

“Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.”
