Pity Quotes

You don’t write a novel out of sheer pity any more than you blow a safe out of a vague longing to be rich. A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery Picture Quote #1

I thought: pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language Picture Quote #1

Nor did I need anyone’s pity, but I would accept it with grace, because I have been well trained. Rudeness was a sign of weakness. Grace stemmed from power, the powere to accept anything and move on Picture Quote #1

It was a pity that people did not risk enough to speak out in behalf of one another’s happiness and their own Picture Quote #1

Here we go mother on the shipless ocean. Pity us, pity the ocean, here we go Picture Quote #1

And therefore I looked down into the great pity of a person’s life on this earth. I don’t mean that we all end up dead, that’s not the great pity. I mean that he couldn’t tell me what he was dreaming, and I couldn’t tell him what was real Picture Quote #1

Part of life is a quest to find that one essential person who will understand our story. But we choose wrongly so often. Over the ensuing years that person we thought understood us best ends up regarding us with pity, indifference, or active dislike. Those who truly care can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive our worst sins. Rarely do we find someone capable of both Picture Quote #1

Those who are too slow to be intelligent deserve our patience, those who are too quick, our pity Picture Quote #1

Time to stop crying, time to get her act together and do something. Time to move beyond the pity party Picture Quote #1

Still shaking, in the pew, I understood that it isn’t the dead we cry for. We cry for ourselves, and I didn’t deserve my own pity Picture Quote #1

Yet, ironically, it is her very wretchedness that makes me pity her so. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know what to do! Picture Quote #1

A whole tree of lightning stood in the sky. She kept looking out the window, suffused with the warmth from the fire and with the pity and beauty and power of her death. The thunder rolled Picture Quote #1

As with all great teachers, his curriculum was an insignificant part of what he communicated. From him you didn’t learn a subject, but a life... Tolerance and justice, fearlessness and pride, reverence and pity, are learned in a course on long division if the teacher has those qualities Picture Quote #1

When I go out there, I have no pity on my brother. I am out there to win Picture Quote #1

Overcome any bitterness that may have come because you were not up to the magnitude of the pain entrusted to you. Like the mother of the world who carries the pain of the world in her heart, you are sharing in a certain measure of that cosmic pain, and are called upon to meet it in joy instead of self pity Picture Quote #1

In the eyes of mercy, no one should have hateful thoughts. Feel pity for the man who is even more at fault. The area and size of mercy is limitless Picture Quote #1

To see a shadow and think it is a tree that is a pity; but to see a tree and to think it a shadow can be fatal Picture Quote #1

I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be offered to abolish this lamentable evil. Everything we do is to improve it, if it happens in our day; if not, let us transmit to our descendants, together with our slaves, a pity for their unhappy lot and an abhorrence of slavery Picture Quote #1

Pity is like lust... both like to masquerade as love and it’s powerfully hard to know the difference when you’re in the throes of it Picture Quote #1

Pity is like a knife, sometimes, and it may pierce one who employs it more shrewdly than the victim it would save Picture Quote #1

Even your pity is like a blast of wind and the words you speak would strip a tree of its blossoms Picture Quote #1

There is a passion of reverence, almost of pity, mingling with the love of an honest man for a pure girl, which makes it the most exquisite, perhaps, of all human sentiments Picture Quote #1

When you have lived longer in this world and outlived the enthusiastic and pleasing illusions of youth, you will find your love and pity for the race increase tenfold, your admiration and attachment to a particular party or opinion fall away altogether Picture Quote #1

One wears one’s mind out in study, and yet has more mind with which to study. One gives away one’s heart in love and yet has more heart to give away. One perishes out of pity for a suffering world, and is stronger therefore. So, too, it is possible at one and the same time to hold on to life and let go Picture Quote #1

I have always had a slight feeling of pity for man who has no knowledge of chess Picture Quote #1

Wouldn’t it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that would be eliminated from schools, too? Picture Quote #1

I have learned that with creatures one loves, suffering is not the only thing for which one may pity them. A rabbit who does not know when a gift has made him safe is poorer than a slug, even though he may think otherwise himself Picture Quote #1

It is said that peace is the basic tenet of all religion. Yet it is in the name of religion that there has been so much disturbance, bloodshed and persecution. It is indeed a pity that even at the close of the twentieth century we’ve had to witness such atrocities because of religion. Flying the flag of religion has always proved the easiest way to crush to nothingness human beings as well as the spirit of humanity Picture Quote #1

A mourner is, perforce, a person with a story. The pity is, how very rarely it gets told Picture Quote #1

However we may pity the mother whose health and even life is imperiled by the performance of her natural duty, there yet remains no sufficient reason for condoning the direct murder of the innocent Picture Quote #1
