More quotes by Philip Zimbardo
Boys' brains are being digitally rewired for change, novelty, excitement and constant arousal. That means they're totally out of sync in traditional classes, which are analog, static, interactively passive.
Philip Zimbardo
If you put good apples into a bad situation, you’ll get bad apples.
Philip Zimbardo
There are no limits to what I would do to make my classes exciting, interesting, unpredictable.
Philip Zimbardo
Depending on whom you ask, time is money, time is love, time is work, time is play, time is enjoying friends, time is raising children, and time is much more. Time is what you make of it.
Philip Zimbardo
To be a hero you have to learn to be a deviant — because you're always going against the conformity of the group.
Philip Zimbardo
Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can kill you.

I was discriminated against because I was Jewish, Italian, black and Puerto Rican. But maybe the worst prejudice I experienced was against the poor. I grew up on welfare and often had to move in the middle of the night because we couldn't pay the rent.
Philip Zimbardo
Time matters because we are finite, because time is the medium in which we live our lives.

The first time I spoke publicly about the Stanford Prison Experiment, Stanley Milgram told me: Your study is going to take all the ethical heat off of my back. People are now going to say yours is the most unethical study ever, and not mine.

The line between good and evil is movable and it's permeable.
Philip Zimbardo
Where can you find purpose? Like success and happiness, our purpose exists in the present, and we constantly strive toward the future to maintain it. What it is for which we strive is up to each of us. The important thing is that we strive toward something.

Bullies are often people who are shy and can't make friends easily, so, as the theme of the movie 'A Bronx Tale' tells us, it is better to be feared if you can't be loved.
Philip Zimbardo
What troubles me is the Internet and the electronic technology revolution. Shyness is fueled in part by so many people spending huge amounts of time alone, isolated on e-mail, in chat rooms, which reduces their face-to-face contact with other people.
Philip Zimbardo
In one sense, the Stanford prison study is more like a Greek drama than a traditional experiment, in that we have humanity, represented by a bunch of good people, pitted against an evil-producing situation. The question is, does the goodness of the people overwhelm the bad situation, or does the bad situation overwhelm the good people?
Philip Zimbardo
Being hurt personally triggered a curiosity about how such beliefs are formed.

Academic success depends on research and publications.
Philip Zimbardo
Bullying is an evil because it not only destroys the life of the kid who's bullied, but also makes everyone in the class who knows this is going on feel guilty for not doing anything.
Philip Zimbardo
The Stanford prison experiment came out of class exercises in which I encouraged students to understand the dynamics of prison life.

I've always been curious about the psychology of the person behind the mask.

If you want to change a person, you've got to change the situation.
