More From Laurie Halse Anderson

Faced with today's problems and disappointments , many people will try to escape from their responsibility. escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. i propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.
Disappointment Attitude Responsibility
Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

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.

Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.
Spiritual Pain Journey
I have a new name for pain. what's that? the obliterator. because when you're in pain, nothing else can exist. not thought. not emotion. only the drive to escape the pain. when it's strong enough, the obliterator strips us of everything that makes us who we are, until we're reduced to creatures less than animals, creatures with a single desire and goal: escape. a good name, then.
Strong Pain Animal
He knew how to handle pain. you had to lie down with pain, not draw back away from it. you let yourself sort of move around the outside edge of pain like with cold water until you finally got up your nerve to take yourself in hand. then you took a deep breath and dove in and let yourself sink down it clear to the bottom. and after you had been down inside pain a while you found that like with cold water it was not nearly as cold as you had thought it was when your muscles were cringing themselves away from the outside edge of it as you moved around it trying to get up your nerve. he knew pain.

Similar Quotes
When pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of god more than all.
Pain Littles Helping
Being a world traveler, i'm touched and moved by everything that happens, especially to children. it gets me emotionally sick and i go through a lot of pain when i see that type of pain. i can't pretend as if i don't see it. it affects me very much.
Children Pain Sick
Actually i want to scare away method actors because it's a pain. it's like, 'come on, what are you doing? it's not real. what are you doing? oh, you're really brooding. okay, good. go to your trailer. i'll see you in an hour.'
Pain Real Scare
The best picture makes us say, i am a painter also.
