Listen to many, speak to a few.
Empathy and social skills are social intelligence, the interpersonal part of emotional intelligence. That's why they look alike.
Children notice things first, people later.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Mr. Clooney has directed six movies; five are set in the middle of the previous century. And 'Suburbicon' clarifies why. Race is a blind spot.
I'm a walking political statement.
I never wanted to be one of those actors with a political agenda.
I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.
It's so important for people to pay attention to history and learn from it, because it's the only thing we've got that's going to help us figure out where we are going. Especially the way things are manipulated in the press today. You have to sort through so much stuff to figure out what is real and what is not. It gets harder every day.
Most people are really nice but some stare, like you're some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings.
In my situation, every time I write a sentence, I'm thinking not only of the people I ended up in college with but my siblings, my family, my school friends, the people from my neighborhood. I've come to realize that this is an advantage, really: it keeps you on your toes.
I realize now that people are not thinking about you and me or caring what is said about us. They are thinking about themselves-before breakfast, after breakfast, and right on until ten minutes past midnight. They would be a thousand times more concerned about a slight headache of their own than they would about the news of your death or mine.
You take a 30-year-old. To him, history began the day he was born. He doesn't know how cold it was 70 years ago unless he's told. He doesn't care. He thinks what's happening now is either the best or the worst, whatever it is, ever. Everybody thinks that.
Believe in something larger than yourself... get involved in the big ideas of your time.

I do take for granted, probably, the fact that I grew up in New York City, one of the most liberal places on earth, with bleeding-heart, liberal parents who took me to see 'Rent' and Terrence McNally plays from a very young age.
No, I never thought about my image. It interests me that there are people who do, that they seem to be methodical about it.
I think we're always doing something for teenagers and youngsters because BTS originally performed itself as a socially conscious band. We always wanted to sell our performances like we did with our debut.
I met Malcolm the month before he was killed. He deeply changed my mind about America.
College was a wonderful time to really explore my interests. I ended up writing my senior thesis about gender inequality in the developing world.
The great work which is to be done is to change public opinion.
What people should do is explain to their friends, to their neighbors how they feel when they confront the word n - - and why they feel the way they feel.
I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.
I've learned that all of us should be constantly mindful of what's going on around us. Sometimes I think we get pretty single-minded in our pursuits and forget that we really do need each other. We need to actively engage in giving and helping each other every day.
If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.
