“Be kind to unkind people. They need it the most.”
“...to be unkind because you are thoughtless is the worst kind of blindness.”
“I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.”
“It becomes still more difficult to find Words at once true and kind, Or not untrue and not unkind.”
“A will to be unkind is like a sickness. It can be healed or driven out. But to be unkind because you are thoughtless is the worst kind of blindness: difficult to cure, because you cannot see the fault even as you commit it.”
“But the point about that kind of stuff was that you needed someone around to be proudly independent and self-reliant. People who didn’t need people needed people around to know that they were the kind of people who didn’t need people.”
