“The human spirit is not at all dead.  No, it lives on — in secret in the hearts of all those who hurt for those defenseless who suffer; and openly in the actions of all those who bravely champion the pain of the downtrodden …

It lives on in the essence of the Soul that will forever believe that Compassion, in which all morality & goodness must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth when it actively embraces all sentient creatures, and does not limit itself to merely humankind.” ~ via Albert Schweitzer
