A Hero's Compassion...

"Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling
what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It
is the knowledge that there can never really be any
peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy
finally for you too."

- Frederick Buechner


"The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen
awareness of the interdependence of all these living
beings, which are all part of one another, and all
involved in one another."

- Thomas Merton


"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to
something bigger than oneself."

- Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)
