We have five senses in which we glory and which we recognize and celebrate, senses that constitute the sensible world for us. But there are other senses — secret senses, sixth senses, if you will — equally vital, but unrecognized, and unlauded. – Oliver Sacks
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. – John Stuart Mill
Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. Its the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone elses pain is as meaningful as your own. – Barbara Kingsolver
