Empathy Quotes Quotes

“You will never truly understand other people until you learn to

listen through their ears
and feel with their hearts.”

“When you listen, you are still.
When you listen, you separate from your ego.
When you listen, you learn a thing or two.

You strengthen the muscle of empathy,
And lengthen the muscle of patience.

You allow others to feel seen and heard.
And when others are seen and heard,
they soften.
And when they soften,
they relinquish their armor.
When the armor is gone,
you see each other’s humanity.

And when your humanity is exposed,
your heart expands
And you see yourself in the other’s eyes.”

“Are you an empathy person or are you a happiness person? I'm an empathy person. It is far more important to me that I empathise with another person, than to show that I'm happy. I believe a lot of people are 'happiness conscious': there's a self-consciousness surrounding happiness that always haunts them. They need people to see them as happy, they need to be perceived as happy people. I just don't have that self consciousness. I want to connect with you, I want us to feel each other, I want to understand you. These are the things I need. I don't need to win, I just want to live.”
― C. JoyBell C.

― Colum McCann, Twist

“A confession on behalf of all generations: Future generations, accept our apology! We messed up. We permitted wars to occur and sanctioned climate parameters to drift away. We reaped the cream of the world and left behind barren desolation for you. We compelled you to suffer the trauma of our bloated egos. We failed you as a generation. We have had our troubles, we realized the facts late, however, here is a promise to be responsible from here on. We will voice out, step up action and choose fearless empathy.”

“You don't have to have shared a placenta with someone to sense their pain. Some would say that empathy is what makes us human. But I think empathy was here, an intuition. The thrumming awareness that we are all connected to the smallest speck, the most distant stars, by the great umbilicus of the solar system, the orbits tossing and tearing us with the force of the tides. When we pay attention to things like parasites and the moon, we are paying attention to the fact that we are citizens of the universe. Most of being human is an effort to forget.”
― Eleanor Henderson, Everything I Have Is Yours: A Marriage

― Rove Monteux, Roadkill Horrors

“If everyone and everything living in the world can manage to look at the world through the eyes of everyone else and everything else, the world can truly become a beautiful place! Look at the world through the eyes of a deer, look at it through the eyes of a Christian, look at it through the eyes of a Muslim, look at it through the eyes of a Jew, look at it through the eyes of a flower or an insect! Abandon yourself, enter the minds of others and look at the world from there, understand everyone and everything, and find a solution accordingly!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“In the intricate ballroom of human interaction, empathy, and narcissism often find themselves locked in a complex, albeit toxic, waltz. Empaths, with their generous hearts and boundless capacity for understanding, are irresistibly drawn to the magnetic charm of narcissists. It’s an attraction as old as time itself, akin to moths flitting towards a flame – a flame that promises warmth but often delivers nothing but singed wings and regret.”
― Life is Positive

“No matter how educated, talented, rich, or cool you think you are, it’s how you treat people that define you in the end. Your true character isn’t measured by your degrees, your intelligence, your bank account, or your style—it’s revealed in the way you interact with others. Kindness, respect, and empathy are the real markers of greatness. You can have all the success, but in the end, it’s not your resume or your wardrobe that people remember—it’s the way you made them feel.”
― Life is Positive

“A Rose for Empathy

My pelvic girdle remained whole and intact, thank God.
What a grace, me still qualifying as a higher vertebrate in this ordered peck.
My paralysis diagnosed only from the legs down.
The drunk driver and I had arrived at the same hospital at the same time.
He in worse shape than me.
I witnessed his violent death in that very moment before being rushed to surgery.
My sentence was mere paralysis.
And my largest sexual organ, the skin, and my most important, the brain, remained whole enough, if not intact.”
― Miles Garrett
