Meryl Streep Promotes Empathy

* I've thought a lot about the power of empathy. In my work, it's the current that connects me and my actual pulse to a fictional character in a made up story, it allows me to feel, pretend feelings and sorrows and imagined pain.......

* empathy is the engine that powers all the best in us. It is what civilizes us....

* The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy, we can all sense a mysterious connection to each other.....
