On suffering
"Compassion takes away the heaviness. It doesn't mean that there is less suffering. It's just how you meet that suffering. And that makes all the difference.

"It's these everyday little moments where we can bring some kindness and care."
"There is research showing that it takes only 40 seconds to show compassion. That's all it takes."
