I always try to push through fear. i won't be crippled by it. people say, "oh you take such risks", or "you're brave." and i'm like, 'well, if you knew - inside i'm really frightened!' but the way people navigate fear and pain is fascinating... the more you feel, the stronger the pain. and the more you engage in life, the more you have to lose.

Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

If you learn life's lessons, you will do well. if not, life will just continue to push you around. people do two things. some just let life push them around. others get angry and push back. but they push back against their boss, or their job, or their husband or wife. they do not know it's life that's pushing.

There was something i was always very good at, however, and that was teaching myself not to be frightened while frightening things are going on. it is difficult to do this, but i had learned. it is simply a matter of putting one’s fear aside, like the vegetable on the plate you don’t want to touch until all of your rice and chicken are gone, and getting frightened later, when one is out of danger. sometimes i imagine i will be frightened for the rest of my life because of all of the fear i put aside during my time in stain’d-by-the-sea.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

I feel like we've inherited modern infrastructure, and i could run away from it and become a full-time activist, or i can try to do my job, and try to talk about things i care about, and be able to do something like sponsor a topsoil conference in nova scotia, and talk about bill mckibben, and narrate a documentary about the vanishing of the bees, and try to navigate my way through this world the best way possible. that's what i'm trying to figure out. probably like many people right now.

But yeah, ann [trason] insisted, running was romantic; and no, of course her friends didn't get it because they'd never broken through. for them, running was a miserable two miles motivated solely by size 6 jeans: get on the scale, get depressed, get your headphones on, and get it over with. but you can't muscle through a five-hour run that way; you have to relax into it, like easing your body into a hot bath, until it no longer resists the shock and begins to enjoy it.

Print will never die. there's no substitute for the feel of an actual book. i adore physically turning pages, and being able to underline passages and not worrying about dropping them in the bath or running out of power. i also find print books objects of beauty.
