A pause for famous thinkers

"Tenderness and pity should never be taken as weakness. Men who have been great in the true sense have never been indifferent to the rights, nor blind to the needs, of the helpless. The education of the heart should ever go in hand with the education of the mind. Kindness toward all sentient creatures and suffering in all its forms are the hallmarks of the enlightened community and the badge of the cultural individual."
George Farnum

"We need a moral philosophy in which the concept of love,so rarely mentioned now by the philosophers, is made central."
Iris Murdoch
