Empathy

This is a wonderful planet, and it is being completely destroyed by people who have too much money and power and no empathy.

We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African American or gay or disabled or old and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges.

All those chemicals that create empathy only work when you are in a room together.

I was in the Army in the 1960s. I didn't go to Vietnam. I went to Germany, where I drank beer. But I did have an empathy with the soldiers in Vietnam.

The arts bridge cultures; they're good for the economy, and they're good for fostering empathy and decency.

I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.
