I believe we have become paralyzed paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.
Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.
The mother's battle for her child with sickness with poverty with war with all the forces of exploitation and callousness that cheapen human life needs to become a common human battle waged in love and in the passion for survival.
Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded and so therefore it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.
Fiction is a kind of compassion-generating machine that saves us from sloth. Is life kind or cruel? Yes Literature answers. Are people good or bad? You bet says Literature. But unlike other systems of knowing Literature declines to eradicate one truth in favor of another.
Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion for the real and for the truth.
I have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of introducing it into the minds which were ignorant of its charms.
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
I look for people who're passionate dedicated to the text and in whom I trust completely.
You desire that which exceeds my humble powers but I trust in the compassion and mercy of the All-powerful God.
