"be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."

‪I wish someone had told me that friendships are sometimes for a season, that they can be deep and exciting and meaningful and vibrant and everything, but can one day drift apart, not their fault or mine. I would’ve enjoyed them more. I would’ve said a proper goodbye.‬

Compassion is, by definition, relational. Compassion literally means “to suffer with,” which implies a basic mutuality in the experience of suffering. The emotion of compassion springs from the recognition that the human experience is imperfect.

“Fellow-citizens; above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions! whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are, to-day, rendered more intolerable by the jubilee shouts that reach them. If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, “may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!” To forget them, to pass lightly over their wrongs, and to chime in with the popular theme, would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world.” Fredrick Douglass, “What To The Slave Is The Fourth Of July?” 🇺🇸 #Shell & Pine @ig

“She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cosy bed, and to love and be loved in return.”

“I wonder how they could yell Barabbas instead of Jesus. I wonder how they sang Hosanna and days later, Crucify him. I wonder how Pontius could wash his hands of it, as though a dirty conscience could be so easily cleaned. But – I am Barabbas, sinner set free. I yell Crucify him as I sing praises with ease. I am Pontius, who turned a blind eye to glory. And yet, so Christ still died for me. Still he died, where I should be, a perfect love on that tree.”

— J.S. Park

“Have you ever had that feeling— that you’d like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?”
