Compassion Quote by William Swing
“Where there is an ongoing relationship of caring. Where there is a sense of humor. Where there is a sense of mutual mercy. Where there is a sense that God has given sex to you . . . there is nothing livelier. But when it is merchandised as a commodity for instant gratification, there is nothing deadlier than sex.”
