John Lennon Quotes About Pain
-

I had to really kill off all the religious myths. In the therapy you really feel every painful moment of your life - it's excruciating, you are forced to realise that your pain, the kind that makes you wake up afraid with your heart pounding, is really yours and not the result of somebody up in the sky.

Most people channel their pain into God or masturbation or some dream of making it.
