Quote of the day by Russell Crowe: 'Even bad men love their mamas.' Life lessons from inspirational quote on human complexity, maternal love, empathy and perspective

Quote of the day by Russell Crowe is the line, “Even bad men love their mamas.” Russell Crowe says it as Ben Wade in the 2007 Western film 3:10 to Yuma. The line comes during an exchange between Wade and a member of his gang. It points to the way personal relationships can remain important even when a person has committed harmful acts. The saying has also been used to discuss human complexity, family bonds, empathy and the need to understand people from more than one perspective. Its meaning comes from the contrast between a person’s actions and their capacity for personal attachment.
