“The nature of compassion isn't coming to terms with your own suffering and applying it to others: It's knowing that other folks around you suffer and, no matter what happens to you, no matter how lucky or unlucky you are, they keep suffering. And if you can do something about that, then you do it, and you do it without whining or waving your own fuckin' cross for the world to see. You do it because it's the right thing to do.”
― John Connolly , Dark Hollow

“There's more beauty in truth, even if it is dreadful beauty.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“I'd been hurt, and in response I had acted violently, destroying a little of myself each time I did so.”
― John Connolly, The Killing Kind

“a technician who uses the term “glitch” is like a
Doctor who tells you you’re suffering from a “thingy,” except the doctor won’t tell you to go home and try turning yourself on and off again.”
― John Connolly, The Gates
