3 quotes from A Severe Mercy

'We must learn to see that 'pity' is not the true love, that love is not pity, but a deep respect and a shared joy.'
'The pain of loss is part of the journey of love, teaching us that love is not just possession but also a shared soul.'
'In the end, mercy is not the absence of suffering but the presence of love amidst it.'
