“The more we interpret noncompliance as rejection, the more likely our requests will be heard as demands, This leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy, for the more people hear demands, the less they enjoy being around us.”

“Intellectual understanding of a problem blocks the kind of presence that empathy requires. When we are thinking about people's words and listening to how they connect to our theories, we are looking at people - we are not with them.”

“Bastırılmış olan hiçbir zaman bastırıldığı şey olarak, orada öylece keşfedilmeyi bekleyen saf ve sahici bir içerik olarak, gaspedilmiş payını talep eden saf bir yıkıcı enerji olarak geri dönmez. Tersine geri döndüğü yerin ihtiyaçlarıyla şekillenen, başka biçimler altında hep yeniden inşa edilen, yeni kurgulara olduğu kadar politik manevralara ve kışkırtmalara da açık bir şey olarak döner. Bu yüzden geçmişte bastırılmış olan bugün için daima bir mücadele konusudur. Bir başka deyişle bastırılmış olan ne sadece bastırılmıştır ne de tam anlamıyla geri dönmüştür.”

“Nonviolent communication does not mandate that we remain completely objective nd refrain from evaluating. It only requires that we maintain a separation between our observations and our evaluations. Nonviolent communication is a process language that discourages static generalizations, instead, evaluations are to be based in observations specific to time and context.”

“Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing. We often have a strong urge to give advice or reassurance and to explain our own position or feeling. Empathy, however, calls upon us to empty our mind and listen to others with our whole being.”
