Quote by Boris Pasternak

No deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here and there in the world, is unmixed with compassion. The more we love, the more the object of our love seems to us to be a victim.


No deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here

Summary

This quote suggests that deep and intense emotions are always accompanied by compassion. When we develop strong feelings for someone or something, we also perceive them as vulnerable or in need of protection. Love increases our sense of the other person's or thing's potential suffering, making us more inclined to empathize and offer assistance. It implies that a genuine and profound connection with someone elicits not only affection but also an innate desire to support and care for them.
