You’re like a god from a Greek myth, Saiman. You have no empathy. You have no concept of the world beyond your ego. Wanting something gives you an automatic right to obtain it by whatever means necessary with no regard to the damage it may do. I would be careful if I were you. Friends and objects of deities’ desires dropped like flies. In the end the gods always ended up miserable and alone." — Kate Daniels ↗

Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It's the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else's pain is as meaningful as your own. ↗

Good fiction creates empathy. A novel takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life. ↗

A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf, if it's for others deserving of your anger, your empathy. ↗
