Empathy Quotes

There is absolutely no single aspect of one’s personality that is more important to develop than empathy, which is not a skill at which men typically are asked to excel. I believe empathy is not only the core of art, literature and music, but should also be at the core of society, from ethics to economics Picture Quote #1

The women ranged in age, but they were all old enough to know that in the currency of friendship, empathy is more valuable than accuracy Picture Quote #1

I think empathy is a guy who punches you in the face at a bus station, and you’re somehow able to look at that him and know enough about what situation he was in to know that he had to do that and not to hit back. That’s empathy, and nothing ever happens in writing that has that kind of moral heroism about it Picture Quote #1

Like works of literature, mathematical ideas help expand our circle of empathy, liberating us from the tyranny of a single, parochial point of view. Numbers, properly considered, make us better people Picture Quote #1

If you ask anyone, what is morality based on? These are the two factors that always come out: One is reciprocity, … a sense of fairness, and the other one is empathy and compassion Picture Quote #1

And empathy is narrow; it connects us to particular individuals, real or imagined, but is insensitive to numerical differences and statistical data Picture Quote #1

The art of integrating the ego and the impulse for empathy in a dynamic call and response Picture Quote #1

I’ve made my life’s work spotting assholes. And you know, I think it’s harder now than ever before because there’s so many socially acceptable ways to exhibit a pathological lack of empathy Picture Quote #1

We live in a world where joy and empathy and pleasure are all around us, there for the noticing Picture Quote #1

Resistance here doesn’t mean revolution. It doesn’t mean storming the barricades. Resistance means using art for the things that it does best, which is to create human portraits and communicate ideas and forge a climate where people of different races or classes are known to you because they make themselves known. In the simplest terms, art humanizes. It opens the circuit of empathy. And once that process happens, it’s that much harder to think of people as part of a policy or a statistic. Art reverses the alienation that can creep into society Picture Quote #1

As far as I’m concerned, the most important thing you need when inventing characters is empathy Picture Quote #1

Be a shining role model of the best qualities humane eating embodies: caring, compassion, and empathy Picture Quote #1

The study of history requires investigation, imagination, empathy, and respect. Reverence just doesnt enter into it Picture Quote #1

History is the art of making an argument about the past by telling a story accountable to evidence. In the writing of history, a story without an argument fades into antiquarianism; an argument without a story risks pedantry. Writing history requires empathy, inquiry, and debate. It requires forswearing condescension, cant, and nostalgia. The past isn’t quaint. Much of it, in fact, is bleak Picture Quote #1

Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person Picture Quote #1

White guilt is more of a sanctioned social convention than a genuine emotional experience. It’s a form of theatrical empathy that’s socially and financially rewarded. When you learn to say and perhaps even believe the right things about race, doors are opened for you. When you say the wrong thing, those doors slam shut. Then, the gossips and church ladies will shame you publicly, demand that you be fired from your job, and use every avenue available to them to coerce a confession, a public apology and a staged conversion that contributes to their progressive narrative Picture Quote #1

Yes, last year in interviewing. Empathy is when you repeat the last three words the patient says and nod your head Picture Quote #1

Students read for tests and because their parents ask them to, but I think it’s very important to tell children that you can read for fun, too, and to understand human spirit. It builds empathy Picture Quote #1

Empathy isn’t just listening, it’s asking the questions whose answers need to be listened to. Empathy requires inquiry as much as imagination. Empathy requires knowing you know nothing. Empathy means acknowledging a horizon of context that extends perpetually beyond what you can see Picture Quote #1

When bad things happened to other people, I imagined them happening to me. I didn’t know if this was empathy or theft Picture Quote #1

We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know Picture Quote #1

Empathy is the faculty to resonate with the feelings of others. When we meet someone who is joyful, we smile. When we witness someone in pain, we suffer in resonance with his or her suffering Picture Quote #1

Listening is understanding. The skill of empathy is a must to be able to listen... One can listen better if one sees the whole Picture Quote #1

Art is food for the soul, and an artistic climate is a healthy climate because it breeds empathy Picture Quote #1

I’ve argued that many of what philosophers call moral sentiments can be seen in other species. In chimpanzees and other animals, you see examples of sympathy, empathy, reciprocity, a willingness to follow social rules. Dogs are a good example of a species that have and obey social rules; that’s why we like them so much, even though they’re large carnivores Picture Quote #1

I worry that if whatever pops into your head at any instant immediately goes online, you lose the crucial time for your thoughts to simmer and evolve and build up nuance, depth and empathy Picture Quote #1

I like people who possess either deep mastery or deep empathy, but not as much as I like those who possess both Picture Quote #1

Kindness manifests in a lot of ways, such as acts of compassion, helpfulness, empathy, forgiveness, and caring. These gestures kindle and ignite feelings of love Picture Quote #1

Empathy is the poor man’s cocaine, and love is just a chemical by any other name Picture Quote #1

Empathy is not merely the basic principle of artistic creation. It is also the only path by which one can reach the truth about life and society Picture Quote #1
