“True empathy, if it exists at all, should be a silent, selfless act, a connection forged without fanfare or self-congratulation. But more often than not, empathy becomes a performance, a display of moral superiority that serves only to inflate the ego of the empathizer.”
― Lord Ian Edge

“When death comes and whispers to me
'Thy days are ended.'
let me say to him, 'I have lived in love
and not in mere time.'
He will ask 'Will thy songs remain?'
I shall say 'I know not, but this I know
that often when I sang I found my eternity.”
― Rabindranath Tagore

“I am able to love my God because He gives me freedom to deny Him”

“My clouds, sorrowing in the dark,
forget that they themselves
have hidden the sun.”
