My Value Quotes

My values, our values, aren't about pointing fingers. They are about offering a helping hand.
- Kathleen Blanco

Maybe my values are outdated, but I come from an old school of thought. I think that men ought to treat women like something other than just shorter, weaker men with breasts.

Actors are not a great breed of people, I don't think. I count myself as something of an exception.

- Amy Irving

(In part, quoting Robert Keegan from Harvard):'When we take the risk of really witnessing another human being, when we validate their human experience, we risk becoming recruited to their welfare.'

I am inexorably an advocate when I allow my empathy to be engaged.
