Dean Koontz Quotes About Compassion

Quotes about: Compassion

• Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy.

  Compassion, Empathy, Friendship Love

• Because God is never cruel, there is a reason for all things. We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one.

  Dean Koontz (2007). “The Darkest Evening of the Year: A Novel”, p.244, Bantam

• Is there some meaning to this life?
  What purpose lies behind the strife?
  Whence do we come, where are we bound?
  These cold questions echo and resound
  through each day, each lonely night.
  We long to find the splendid light
  that will cast a revelatory beam
  upon the meaning of the human dream.
  Courage, love, friendship,
  compassion, and empathy
  lift us above the simple beasts
  and define humanity.
