“I came out of the nine-hour surgery and I had tubes in every direction, and those nurses at the Mayo Clinic, I could cry for four days at the kindness of those nurses. The care, the detail of the care, the attention that just never wavered, never complained. The love.” CareHoursAttentionKindnessFourCryDetailsNineNurseSurgeryTubesClinic Author:Eve Ensler
“I have my own peculiar yardstick for measuring a man: Does he have the courage to cry in a moment of grief? Does he have the compassion not to hunt an animal? In his relationship with a woman, is he gentle? Real manliness is nurtured in kindness and gentleness, which I associate with intelligence, comprehension, tolerance, justice, education, and high morality. If only men realized how easy it is to open a woman's heart with kindness, and how many women close their hearts to the assaults of the Don Juans.” IfsMenHeartDoeRealMomentsEasyJusticeMy OwnAnimalGriefCompassionKindnessCryMoralityToleranceGentlePeculiarAssociatesAssaultHuntsGentlenessComprehensionMeasuringReal MenManlinessDon JuanJuanYardsticks Author:Sophia Loren
“Driving home, it's all I can do to keep from crying. Time's come, time's gone, time's never returning, I say to myself. What's here in front of me is all I've got, I decide, and as I drive my car through the blowing snow it doesn't seem like much, except for the kindness that I've just exchanged with an old lady, so I concentrate on that.” I CanHomeSeemsCan DoKindnessGoneCarFrontsCryDrivingSnowOld LadyDriving HomeGone Time Author:Russell Banks

“I wonder from these thousand of "me's", which one am I? Listen to my cry, do not drown my voice I am completely filled with the thought of you. Don't lay broken glass on my path I will crush it into dust. I am nothing, just a mirror in the palm of your hand, reflecting your kindness, your sadness, your anger. If you were a blade of grass or a tiny flower I will pitch my tent in your shadow. Only your presence revives my withered heart. You are the candle that lights the whole world and I am an empty vessel for your light.

“You think that your silence on certain topics, perhaps in the face of injustice, or unkindness, or mean-spiritedness, causes others to reserve judgement of you. Far otherwise; your silence utters very loud: you have no oracle to speak, no wisdom to offer, and your fellow men have learned that you cannot help them. Doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice? We would be well to do likewise.” ThinkingMenWellsMeanHelpingWould BeFacesCertainSpeakCausesUnderstandingVoiceSilenceKindnessCryOffersFellowsInjusticeLoudJudgementReservesTopicsFellow ManOraclesUnkindness Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson
