pain real book
Mindi Scott has a real talent for getting inside her protagonist's head.

I just don't think it's possible to read this book and not identify with Coley in some way. Amber Benson

pain war nice
Think of a rock polisher, one of those drums, goes round and round, rolls twenty-four/seven, full of water and rocks and gravel. Grinding it all up. Round and round. Polishing those ugly rocks into gemstones. That’s the earth. Why it goes around. We’re the rocks. And what happens to us—the drama and pain and joy and war and sickness and victory and abuse—why, that’s just the water and sand to erode us. Grind us down. To polish us up, nice and bright.

On the whole, my respect for my fellow-men, except as one may outweigh a million, is not being increased these days....

This is a seed of such force and vitality, that it does not ask our leave to germinate. Henry David Thoreau
