When bad things happened to other people, I imagined them happening to me. I didn’t know if this was empathy or theft.
Leslie Jamison
Image
That's where peace begins - not just in the plans of leaders, but in the hearts of people. Not just in some carefully designed process, but in the daily connections - that sense of empathy that takes place among those who live together in this land and in this sacred city of Jerusalem.
Barack Obama
Image
Writing, or at least good writing, is an outgrowth of that urge to use language to communicate complex ideas and experiences between people. And that's true whether you're reading Shakespeare or bad vampire fiction-reading is always an act of empathy. It's always an imagining of what it's like to be someone else.
John Green
Image
As an actor, I function from a place of compassion and empathy - you have to believe 100 percent what your character is doing, because otherwise it will look like it's not real.
Clare Bowen
Image
Empathy takes time, and efficiency is for things, not people.
Stephen Covey
Image
I have so much empathy for these young actors that are 19 and all of a sudden they're beautiful and famous and rich. I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd be dead.'
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Image
Good fiction creates empathy. A novel takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life.
Barbara Kingsolver
Image
Empathy makes you more aware of other people's suffering, but it's not clear it actually motivates you to take moral action or prevents you from taking immoral action.
David Brooks
Image
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.
Carl Rogers
Image
There is a real comfort with the position of the victim, which can either result in true empathy or deep paranoia.
Jill Soloway
Image
For me, documentary photography has always come with great responsibility. Not just to tell the story honestly and with empathy, but also to make sure the right people hear it. When you photograph somebody who is in pain or discomfort, they trust you to make sure the images will act as their advocate.
Giles Duley
Image
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.
Martin Buber
Image
Truth is not only violated by falsehood it may be equally outraged by silence.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Image
Become the world's most thoughtful friend.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I see Lord Buddha in the 21st Century across national borders, across faith systems, across political ideologies, playing the role of a bridge to promote understanding to counsel patience and to enlighten us with tolerance and empathy.
Narendra Modi
Image
Reducing the economic gap may be impossible without also addressing the gap in empathy.
Daniel Goleman
Image
But the moods could be contagious. He didn't need one right now.
Josephine Humphreys
Image
Something as important and central and encompassing as empathy can't be all bad. I think empathy plays a role in intimate relationships, where you might want your partner not just to care about you or understand you but to feel what you feel.
Paul Bloom
Image
Apathy is a sort of living oblivion.
Horace Greeley
Image
Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.
Mohsin Hamid
Image
Readers will stay with an author, no matter what the variations in style and genre, as long as they get that sense of story, of character, of empathetic involvement.
Dean Koontz
Image
I flattered myself that I was rather empathetic, that I had rather good imaginative empathy. I've realized now that that was a complete self-delusion and that I didn't really have any comprehension of what it was like to see your entire life go catastrophically wrong in a matter of moments.
Decca Aitkenhead
Image
I did not know how to reach him, how to catch up with him... The land of tears is so mysterious.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
I believe that if you can discover something of the truth of a person, then you will start to understand, and to understand is to move towards, if not like, then at least an empathy of some kind.
