Empathy quotations

- Dean Koontz99◆ None of us can choose where we shall love...
- Susan Kay99◆ This place was truly the highest and the lowest of all worlds - the most beautiful senses, the most exquisite emotions.. the most malevolent desires, the darkest deeds. Perhaps it was meant to be so. Perhaps without the lows, the highs could not be reached.
- Stephenie Meyer99◆ I think the act of reading imbues the reader with a sensitivity toward the outside world that people who don't read can sometimes lack. I know it seems like a contradiction in terms; after all reading is such a solitary, internalizing act that it appears to represent a disengagement from day-to-day life. But reading, and particularly the reading of fiction, encourages us to view the world in new and challenging ways...It allows us to inhabit the consciousness of another which is a precursor to empathy, and empathy is, for me, one of the marks of a decent human being.
- John Connolly99◆ I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
- Mahatma Gandhi99◆ I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.
- Walt Whitman99◆ When good people consider you the bad guy, you develop a heart to help the bad ones. You actually understand them.
- Criss Jami99◆ If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
- Brené Brown99◆ Good works is giving to the poor and the helpless, but divine works is showing them their worth to the One who matters.
- Criss Jami99◆ Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?
- Marcus Aurelius99◆ Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
- J.K. Rowling99◆ If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in.
- Frederick Buechner99◆ Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.
- Andrew Boyd99◆ Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy. The differences between people lie in their use of these senses; most people don't know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more.
- C. JoyBell C.99◆ Don't judge someone's attitude until you've felt their pain.
