Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing.

You should not judge; you should understand.

Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.

Empathy means understanding others on their own terms and bringing them into the orbit of one’s own experience.

Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.

You can only understand people if you feel them in yourself.

Empathy works so well because it doesn’t require a solution. It requires only understanding.

Goodness can be found sometimes in the middle of hell.

The good you find in others is a reflection of the good that is in yourself.

Please.
Do not ask us who we are.
The hardest part of grief
Is giving it a name.

You’re the one who is weak. You will never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.
