“...we must go where the argument carries us, as a vessel runs before the wind.”
― Plato, The Republic

“Were we incapable of empathy – of putting ourselves in the position of others and seeing that their suffering is like our own – then ethical reasoning would lead nowhere. If emotion without reason is blind, then reason without emotion is impotent.”
― Peter Singer, Writings on an Ethical Life

“Be strong. Overflow with emotional and intellectual energy, and you will spread your intelligence, your love, your energy of action broadcast among others! This is what all moral teaching comes to.”
― Peter Kropotkin, Anarchist Morality

“Struggle so that all may live this rich, overflowing life. And be sure that in this struggle you will find a joy greater than anything else can give.”
― Peter Kropotkin, Anarchist Morality
