He was quoted for the following, which I have also heard other people say, but never exactly as Søren Ulrik Thomsen does (in my feeble attempt of translation):
When I am annoyed with and very critical towards another person these days, I try to discipline myself and think of everything that is unique to him or her. The things that only this person can do, the things which I would miss if that person was no longer in the world.You can catch yourself thinking that there is a double-sidedness in this - that while thinking about what you would miss, you can seek some perverse pleasure by thinking this other human being dead. But apparently this is not what drives Søren Ulrik Thomsen. As he says in the following sentence: "It is a great poverty and folly not to be able to sense other people in all their diversity." Now, this is most certainly something we can learn from.(Translated from Rummelighed for forskellighed, originally published July 28th, 2012)
