"It is empathy that allows us to know that the external world is real. Empathy, in other words, is not a condescending concession of a rational person to the emotions of others, but the only way to become a reasonable person. To acknowledge the corporeality of others is not a gift to them but a step toward our own reason."
in On Freedom, by Timothy Snyder (2024)
