Susan Sontag Quotes

Compassion Is An Unstable Emotion. It Needs To Be Translated Into Action, Or It Withers. The Question Of What To Do With The Feelings That Have Been Aroused, The Knowledge That Has Been Communicated. If One Feels That There Is Nothing 'we' Can Do
But Who Is That 'we'?
And Nothing 'they' Can Do Either
And Who Are 'they'
Then One Starts To Get Bored, Cynical, Apathetic.
