How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The only thing I can't stand is discomfort.
It's very satisfying. To perform the way you want to. And the way you know that you can.
It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.
People think it's great to be ahead of your time, but it can actually be quite painful.
A cause may be inconvenient, but it's magnificent. It's like champagne or high heels, and one must be prepared to suffer for it.
It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.
Oh, humiliation is poisonous. It's one of the deepest pains of being human.
I hated it when people tried to force me out when I wasn't ready. It was very painful, and it actually pushed me away from doing so.
I am fascinated by the whole process of what it's like to be alive, whether it's unbelievably uncomfortable and horrible or whether it's quite nice.
The only pain in pleasure is the pleasure of the pain.
