"In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and 1 now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. t's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy." ⁃ Captain G. M. Gilbert, Army psychologist

"The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism. This loss of empathy laid the groundwork for some of humanity's darkest moments. " - Hannah Arendt
