Lack of Empathy/Quotes

"What I like about Cindy is that she has so much less compassion than other girls. Riley Freeman, The Boondocks"

"I would talk to her... and get her mind off of the, sex, anything she was nervous about. And think, you know, she thinks, 'Oh, this guy cares'... which I didn't. I just want to, uh, get her in the vehicle and eventually kill her. Gary Ridgway, The Green River Killer"

"John: You said that the victims all took the poison themselves. He *makes* them take it. Well, maybe he, I dunno, talks to them? Maybe he used the death of her daughter somehow?

Sherlock: Yeah, but that was ages ago! Why would she still be upset? (John stares at him)...Not good?

John: Bit not good."

"Sherlock: (watching a grieving family) Look at them. They all care so much. Do you ever wonder if there's something wrong with us? Mycroft: All lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage, Sherlock."

"Mr. Freeze: Do you know what it is to love someone? To really love them?

Hugo Strange: No."

"Soulless-Sam: So, say you got a soul, and you're on a case, and your brother gets abducted by aliens. Dean: Yeah, and you do everything you can to get him back! Sam: Right, you do. But...what about when there are no more leads for the night? I mean, you're supposed to just sit there in the dark and suffer, even when there's nothing that can be done at that moment? Dean: Yes! You sit in the dark and you - you feel the loss. Sam: Absolutely, but couldn't I just do all that...and have sex with the hippie chick? Dean: NO! Sam: It would be in the dark."
