“To do nothing in the face of another's misfortune is to be no better than those who might have caused it to begin with, and the measure of the best of us is that we can correctly measure our own inconvenience against the weight of someone else's pain.”

“this was the human condition: often to be lost, confused, or anxious, but finally to comprehend that, at crucial instances, we will find ourselves lost precisely where we were meant to be; that there is little of use to be learned from the familiar—one may gain comfort from it, but not knowledge—only from what is strange and new; and that everything worth experiencing or embracing is, because unknown, first touched by fear.”
― John Connolly, The Land of Lost Things
