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.
