“The nature of compassion isn't coming to terms with your own suffering and applying it to others: It's knowing that other folks around you suffer and, no matter what happens to you, no matter how lucky or unlucky you are, they keep suffering. And if you can do something about that, then you do it, and you do it without whining or waving your own fuckin' cross for the world to see. You do it because it's the right thing to do.” SufferingCompassionSuffer Book:Dark Hollow Source: Dark Hollow
“You have to understand that only the very worst end up here: the ones whose anger made them kill, and who felt no sorrow or guilt after the act; those so obsessed with themselves that they turned their backs on the sufferings of others, and left them in pain; those whose greed meant that others starved and died. Such souls belong here, because they would find no peace elsewhere. In this place, they are understood. In this place, their faults have meaning. In this place, they belong.” SufferingPeaceSinHellWorstSorrowAngerMurderGreedVanityMeaningBelongingRemorseWrathKillAvariceFinding PeaceSinsSufferBelong Author:John Connolly
“I believe in those whom I love and trust. All else is foolishness. This god is as empty as his church. His followers choose to attribute all of their good fortune to him, but when he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he is beyond their understanding and abandon themselves to his will. What kind of god is that?” BelieveKindSufferingI BelieveUnderstandingChurchEmptyFortuneI Believe InAbandonFollowersAttributesFoolishnessGood FortuneLove And Trust Author:John Connolly
“I dream dark dreams. I dream of a figure moving through the forest, of children flying from his path, of young women crying at his coming. I dream of snow and ice, of bare branches and moon-cast shadows. I dream of dancers floating in the air, stepping lightly even in death, and my own pain is but a faint echo of their suffering as I run. My blood is black on the snow, and the edges of the world are silvered with moonlight. I run into the darkness, and he is waiting. I dream in black and white, and I dream of him. I dream of Caleb, who does not exist, and I am afraid.” WorldChildrenDoeDreamRunningPainMovingYoungSufferingWaitingBlackDarkMy OwnWhiteDarknessPathAirBloodCryFiguresMoonShadowCastsEdgesFlyingSnowForestsIceBranchesDancerBlack And WhiteEchoesYoung WomenFloatingMoonlightCalebEdge Of The WorldDark DreamsBare Branches Book:Dark Hollow: A Charlie Parker Thriller Source: Dark Hollow: A Charlie Parker Thriller
