Condescension Quotes

Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity Picture Quote #1

There aren’t many irritations to match the condescension which a woman metes out to a man who she believes has loved her vainly for the past umpteen years Picture Quote #1

My commodity as a writer, whatever I’m writing about, is me. And your commodity is you. Don’t alter your voice to fit the subject. Develop one voice that readers will recognize when they hear it on the page, a voice that’s enjoyable not only in its musical line but in its avoidance of sounds that would cheapen its tone: breeziness and condescension and clichés Picture Quote #1

History is the art of making an argument about the past by telling a story accountable to evidence. In the writing of history, a story without an argument fades into antiquarianism; an argument without a story risks pedantry. Writing history requires empathy, inquiry, and debate. It requires forswearing condescension, cant, and nostalgia. The past isn’t quaint. Much of it, in fact, is bleak Picture Quote #1

We must win the common people in every corner. This will be obtained chiefly by means of the schools, and by open, hearty behavior, show, condescension, popularity, and toleration of their prejudices, which we shall at leisure root out and dispel Picture Quote #1

Obama’s style of argumentation is unlike any president I have ever met, and I’ve met a lot of them. And the condescension that oozes from him when he’s talking about his opponents, it’s really striking Picture Quote #1

I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen Picture Quote #1

There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even; when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought Picture Quote #1

There comes an end to all things; the most capacious measure is filled at last; and this brief condescension to evil finally destroyed the balance of my soul Picture Quote #1

Of all insults, the temporary condescension of a master to a slave is the most outrageous and galling. That potentate who most condescends, mark him well; for that potentate, if occasion come, will prove your uttermost tyrant Picture Quote #1

Poets are regarded as handicapped writers whose work must be treated with a tender condescension, such as one accords the athletic achievements of basketball players confined to wheelchairs Picture Quote #1

Asking for help with shame says: You have the power over me. Asking with condescension says: I have the power over you. But asking for help with gratitude says: We have the power to help each other Picture Quote #1

We are a society that treats people with disabilities with condescension and pity, not dignity and respect Picture Quote #1

When I started out, there were three things that made film people look at me with condescension, I was young, I was black, and I was female. I have won a certain respect, but I think the film community still sees directing as a male job Picture Quote #1
