Quote by Louise Milligan

“Ballarat survivor Andrew Collins, watching in the room in Rome, said the first word that came into his mind was 'empathy'. 'To me it showed that he [Cardinal George Pell, giving evidence before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse] struggled to show any,' Collins says. 'We didn't see it as a blunder, as he thinks carefully before he speaks and is very intelligent and articulate. This is just how his mind works. If it's not about him, involving him or of benefit to him, then it hardly registers.”

“How can we help them?" Chiara asked. "For a start, we help them listen to their conscience." Conscience. Agata had used that word before, when they'd first met. "I mentioned before that you have a strong sense of empathy, Chiara. It keeps you attuned to how others are feeling and gives you your compassion. Something all potential fairies must exhibit, for it is our empathy that keeps us from being cold and merciless like the Heartless. "But what I also noted was that you have a proverbial conscience as well, Chiara. Empathy without a conscience is like living with only half a heart. Your conscience is what motivates you to act. It is our compass, guiding us in the direction of doing what's right.”

“When we treat people as objects, we dehumanize them. We do something really terrible to their souls and to our own. Martin Buber, an Austrian-born philosopher, wrote about the differences between an I-it relationship and an I-you relationship. An I-it relationship is basically what we create when we are in transactions with people whom we treat like objects--people who are simply there to serve us or complete a task. I-you relationships are characterized by human connection and empathy.”
