Richard DawkinsThe act of compassion begins with full attention, just as rapport does. You have to really see the person. If you see the person, then naturally, empathy arises. If you tune into the other person, you feel with them. If empathy arises, and if that person is in dire need, then empathic concern can come. You want to help them, and then that begins a compassionate act. So I'd say that compassion begins with attention.

I can't stop it from breaking in the same way it always does, and then from lying there broken; always the same day, which comes around again like clockwork.

Zadie SmithAll the forces that we see in nature, such as gravitation, attraction, and repulsion, or as thought, feeling, and nervous motion - all these various forces resolve into that Prana, and the vibration of the Prana ceases.

To find security and be secure is the everlasting cry. It is this insistent demand that breeds fear.

John PiperI inhabit the wax image of myself, a doll's body. Sickness begins here; I am a dartboard for witches.
Sylvia PlathLove is anticipation and memory, uncertainty and longing. Itโs unreasonable, of course. Nothing begins with so much excitement and hope and pleasure as love, except maybe writing a story. And nothing fails as often, except writing stories. And like a story, love must be troubled to be interesting.

But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend.

Cathy DavidsonThe ascent of any route begins, in dreams at least, the autumn before. Our minds ring, involuntarily, with the alluring names of mountains, aiguilles, faces and ridges, Is it the name itself which is so tempting, or the picture we have of the mountain itself, or does the appeal come from our feeling of the actual process of climbing? All of us have our reasons, innumerable, personal and complex. From many points of view a climb is a challenge we must meet.

Kris RadishI think maybe God was trying to tell me that gentleness begins with strength, quietness with security. A great tree is both moved and unmoved, for it changes with the seasons, but its roots keep it anchored in the ground. Mastering a gentle and quiet spirit didnโt mean changing my personality, just regaining control of it, growing strong enough to hold back and secure enough to soften.
