"The Venus Project is a translation of all religions: The end of war, the end of poverty, the brotherhood of humanity.  If that isn't spiritual, like I've said before, I don't know what is."

There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.
