Balance Quote by Tony Goldwyn
“Empathy goes a long way, for sure. We cannot have healthy, loving, mutually respectful relationships without it. But we're not psychic. At least I'm not. And intuition can only take you so far, especially when a person's sense of safety, comfort, and self-worth hangs in the balance.”
