Curated Author Quotes
For some time now on Facebook, I have been sharing author quotes on Tuesdays. I try to match these quotes to my own ideology behind why I write. It's kind of like a subtle author's statement of purpose, maybe similar to a teacher's statement of purpose or teaching philosophy? I thought it would be nice now that 2015 is over to post the entire list in one place. So here it is. Enjoy!

“She could hear again the ripple of water, the flapping sail. She could see the glint of the moon upon the bay, and could feel the soft, gusty beating of the hot south wind. A subtle current of desire passed through her body, weakening her hold upon the brushes and making her eyes burn.”

“The near enemy of compassion is pity. Instead of feeling the openness of compassion, pity says, "Oh, that poor person. I feel sorry for people like that." Pity sees them as different from ourselves. It sets up a separation between ourselves and others, a sense of distance and remoteness from the suffering of others that is affirming and gratifying to the self. Compassion, on the other hand, recognizes the suffering of another as a reflection of our own pain: "I understand this; I suffer in the same way." It is empathetic, a mutual connection with the pain and sorrow of life. Compassion is shared suffering.”
