Mama, humanity is my business  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) That human behavior is more influenced by things outside of us than inside. The ‘situation’ is the external environment.

In Canada, five boys drop out for every three girls. Girls outperform boys now at every level, from elementary school to graduate school  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Boys’ brains are being digitally rewired for change, novelty, excitement and constant arousal. That means they’re totally out of sync in traditional classes, which are analog, static, interactively passive  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) It was God who created hell as a place to store evil. He didn’t do a good job of keeping it there though  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) I’ve always been curious about the psychology of the person behind the mask. When someone is anonymous, it opens the door to all kinds of antisocial behavior, as seen by the Ku Klux Klan  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) As a result of the prison study, I really became more aware of the central role of power in our lives. I became more aware of the power I have as a teacher. I started consciously doing things to minimize the negative use of power in the classroom. I encouraged students to challenge me  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Many cults start off with high ideals that get corrupted by leaders or their board of advisors who become power-hungry and dominate and control members lives. No group with high ideals starts off as a cult; they become one when their errant ways are exposed  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) When someone is anonymous, it opens the door to all kinds of antisocial behavior, as seen by the Ku Klux Klan.  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Companies that model best practices, that model the most upstanding principles, end up as the most profitable. It’s not a trade of profits versus principles.  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) There are times when external circumstances can overwhelm us, and we do things we never thought. If you’re not aware that this can happen, you can be seduced by evil. We need inoculations against our own potential for evil. We have to acknowledge it. Then we can change it.  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Academic success depends on research and publications  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can kill you  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Being hurt personally triggered a curiosity about how such beliefs are formed  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Human behavior is incredibly pliable, plastic  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) If you want to change a person, you’ve got to change the situation  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Time is the backdrop of our lives and the very fabric of the cosmos  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) If you put good apples into a bad situation, you’ll get bad apples  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Bullies may be the perpetrators of evil, but it is the evil of passivity of all those who know what is happening and never intervene that perpetuates such abuse  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) After doing psychology for half a century, my passion for all of it is greater than ever  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) Careers in virtually all academic disciplines are fostered by being a superstar who knows more about one subject than anyone else in the world  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes) I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?  (Philip Zimbardo Quotes)
