  • No philosopher was ever apathetic. If there is no love, it is not philosophy.

  • Stay positive, joyful, and optimistic in your activism, even in the face of adversity. Understand that most people continue to consume animal products because they are unaware of the hidden cost - animal cruelty - not because they are bad or apathetic. Offer information, support, and resources in a friendly and supportive manner, as few people have begun their journey toward a compassionate lifestyle by being shamed or ridiculed. Turn anger and frustration into motivation to be as effective as possible.

  • Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question is what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. People don't become inured to what they are shown — if that's the right way to describe what happens — because of the quantity of images dumped on them. It is passivity that dulls feeling.

    Susan Sontag (2013). “Regarding the Pain of Others”, p.101, Macmillan
  • The trouble is that when most people are apathetic ordinary people ... have to go too far, have to ruin their lives and be made an object of scorn just to get the point across. Did they really think I'd rather be camping by a polluted river than sitting in my own flat with my things about me?

    Jeanette Winterson (2013). “Sexing The Cherry”, p.123, Random House
  • I really look at my life before kids and after kids and before I was more - not narcissistic - but I was definitely more selfish. I didn't have the same concerns as I do now. I've always been political, but you've gotta be engaged. You can't be apathetic anymore because what's at stake is bigger than yourself, it's your kids.

    "Raine Maida On Raising Three Boys". Interview With Joel Balsam, www.askmen.com.
  • To be apathetic is literally to be without passion.

    Erwin Raphael McManus (2006). “Uprising: A Revolution of the Soul”, p.7, Thomas Nelson Inc
  • What makes us Christians shrug our shoulders when we ought to be flexing our muscles? What makes us apathetic in a day when there are loads to lift, a world to be won and captives to be set free? Why are so many bored when the times demand action?

    Christian   Bored   World  
    Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Donna Lee Toney (2011). “Billy Graham in Quotes”, p.54, Thomas Nelson Inc
  • Creole women take after Europe in their intelligence, after the Tropics in the illogical violence of their passions, and after the Indies in the apathetic indolence with which they commit or suffer good and evil.

  • In life when we feel we have reached a limit, that is when the true battle begins. Just when you despair and think it is impossible to go any further, will you become apathetic, or will you say it's not over and stand up with an unyielding spirit? The battle is decided by this single determination.

  • Thwarted, or starved, in the important objects proper to young capacities, the boys and young men naturally find or invent deviant objects for themselves. ... Their choices and inventions are rarely charming, usually stupid, and often disastrous; we cannot expect average kids to deviate with genius. But on the other hand, the young men who conform to the dominant society become for the most part apathetic, disappointed, cynical and wasted.

    Stupid   Kids   Boys  
    Paul Goodman (2011). “Growing Up Absurd: Problems of Youth in the Organized Society”, p.21, New York Review of Books
  • Every apathetic individual is a brick in a tyrant's throne.

  • People listen for cues - when they are searching for a decision, they look to people they know. Young people can be apathetic in certain ways unless they hear from someone they like and admire about why they should be engaged and involved. If someone you love is doing a rally or concert, you may be engaged to register.

  • The difference between our decadence and the Russians is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.

    The Observer, February 05, 1961.
  • ...no worship is better than apathetic worship.

    Francis Chan, Preston Sprinkle (2014). “The Francis Chan Collection: Crazy Love, Forgotten God, Erasing Hell, and Multiply”, p.65, David C Cook
  • Emotion, whether of ridicule, anger, or sorrow,--whether raised at a puppet show, a funeral, or a battle,--is your grandest of levellers. The man who would be always superior should be always apathetic.

    Men   Funeral   Sorrow  
  • Being a geek is a great thing. I think we're all geeks. Being a geek means you're passionate about something and that defines your uniqueness. I would rather be passionate about something than be apathetic about everything.

    "“Heroes'” Masi Oka is super-geeky". Interview with Florangela Davila, www.seattletimes.com. May 14, 2007.
  • Desaparecidos try to be the opposite of apathetic. There are so many young people in America that are apathetic.

  • Going through intense change with an ignorant and apathetic citizenry, driven by a corporate agenda, is a really, really scary proposition. But going into it with an educated and empowered citizenry that feels it can determine the course of its society and can hold its corporations and governments accountable has a lot of power and potential to it. To me, that's what makes activism so important.

  • There are many fans of hard rock music that have been wrongly pigeonholed as apathetic. This music is not music for the elitist coffeehouse culture in SoHo. It' s rock 'n' roll music for kids across the land, and I think that makes it much more subversive in a way, in that it has the form and the function of a powerful, populist music, but it can carry very incendiary messages.

  • Is it ignorance or apathy? Hey, I don't know and I don't care.

  • We imagine a school in which students and teachers excitedly and joyfully stretch themselves to their limits in pursuit of projects built on their own visions … not one that that merely succeeds in making apathetic students satisfy minimal standards.

    "Vision for Education: The Caperton-Papert Platform" by Seymour Papert and Gaston Caperton, www.papert.org. August 1999.
  • Refuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude.

  • The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a safe code of conduct - one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone - for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you.

  • The absolute worst thing you can do in a scene is be apathetic.

    Past   People   Want

  • Man can only endure a certain degree of unhappiness; what is beyond that either annihilates him or passes by him and leaves him apathetic

    Men   Suffering   Degrees

  • What is called “apathy” is, I believe, a feeling of helplessness on the part of the ordinary citizen, a feeling of impotence in the face of enormous power. It’s not that people are apathetic; they do care about what is going on, but don’t know what to do about it, so they do nothing, and appear to be indifferent.
